The director of Help’s representative office in Ukraine took part in a panel discussion on the humanitarian situation and support for affected communities.

On 16 and 17 June this year, the Empower Conference took place. The event provided an excellent platform for sharing experience, establishing partnerships and discussing current challenges in the humanitarian sector

The premiere of the theatre initiative ‘Stories of Light’, created with the participation of children and young people with disabilities and special educational needs, took place in Vyshhorod

In the run-up to the Ukraine Recovery Conference, our team took part in a cross-sectoral meeting where representatives from various sectors discussed priorities and opportunities for the sustainable development of communities in 2026–2027.

The programme team is continuing to implement the initiative to support entrepreneurship in Ukraine, moving on to the next stage following the completion of the assessment of participants’ applications.

During her visit to Ukraine, a representative of the European office of Help – Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe met with the team and learned how humanitarian aid impacts the lives of people in local communities.

The initiative aimed at supporting communities and recovery is ongoing.

In late April 2026, the Help – Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe team organised an event as part of the Help Localisation Programme (HLF), which brought together representatives of international and local organisations, donors and experts to discuss the practical and strategic aspects of developing the localisation of humanitarian aid in Ukraine.

As part of the implementation of the HLF localisation programme, support for local organisations in Ukraine continues: following the results of the second selection round, four projects have been identified to receive funding for the further implementation of their initiatives.
