<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Russia’s attack on Ukraine, in violation of international law, has had a terrible impact on the country’s civilian population: Millions of people have been forced to flee their homes, and many have witnessed the most serious human rights violations. According to the UN Refugee Agency, 5.7 million Ukrainians have fled abroad in the four years since the start of the war. In addition, at least 3.7 million people were displaced within Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The psychiatric and psychological care system in Ukraine faces enormous challenges. Since the beginning of the war of aggression, the World Health Organization has documented at least 2881 attacks on health facilities, including those providing mental health services.<\/p>\n
According to an evaluation by the World Health Organization in October 2024, 68 percent of Ukrainians reported a deterioration in their health compared to the pre-war period. Mental health problems are the most common, affecting 46 percent of the population.
\nThe need for qualified trauma care<\/strong> by far exceeds the services available. This is where our project comes in.<\/p>\n<\/div>Our Partner Organization<\/h2>\n
We have been working with Kolping Ukraine since 2023. The Kolping Society in Ukraine is a non-governmental organization and part of Kolping International<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe organization’s areas of activity include educational work, improving quality of life for the elderly, social and economic integration of internally displaced persons, support for people with disabilities, as well as the development and strengthening of communities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
