Population protection programs
The “Posmishka UA” Foundation implements comprehensive programs aimed at protecting and restoring the rights and safety of the population during crises, armed conflicts, natural disasters, and other emergencies.
The Foundation carries out projects focused on general protection, child protection, prevention of gender-based violence, and mine risk education programs. Assistance is available to individuals affected by crises, armed conflict, natural disasters, and other emergencies, as well as to those facing difficult life circumstances.
We employ a holistic approach, building a system of services that includes direct support to beneficiaries while also fostering sustainable change within communities by strengthening the work of state services and institutions and providing training for professionals.
Our goal is not to replace the state’s role but to build and enhance a system of effective coordination and referral with other civil society organizations and state services at various levels in the field of protection.
