Partner Name: NGO Safe Sky

Project Name: „Safety for  home front heroes“

Duration: 01.11.2024 – 31.03.2025

The project was aimed at improving the safety and survival skills of utility workers working in frontline areas and high-risk zones in Kharkiv Oblast. Its main objectives were to reduce mortality and injuries by providing specialised first aid and mine safety training and providing employees with individual first aid kits. These workers often work in hazardous environments – rebuilding infrastructure, clearing rubble and supporting communities under constant threat – so such training is vital to saving lives and maintaining vital services in wartime.

Total number of trained participants: 560 (initially planned 500)
