Empowering Communities: NGO ‘Responsible Citizens’ and World Vision International Educate Over 15,000 in Ukraine

The project is implemented by the NGO “Responsible Citizens” in partnership with the international humanitarian organisation Save the Children in Ukraine, with the generous support of the American people through the Government of the United States.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, international organizations, donors, and partners of Ukraine, together with the public sector, are working on a single platform to overcome the serious challenges brought by the war.

In Kharkiv, social workers from various parts of the Kharkiv region—Sakhnovshchyna, Zachepylivka, and Pivdenne—participated in a two-day training to enhance their skills and address the challenges posed by the war.

Throughout 2025, the cooperation between the NGO “Responsible Citizens” and Nova Poshta Humanitarian became an important component in delivering aid to frontline communities.

The event was initiated by our steadfast partners at Rädda Barnen / Save the Children Sweden, who have consistently supported child protection and humanitarian response efforts in Ukraine over the years. Among the participants were members of the Swedish Parliament working on international development, human rights, and child protection issues: Gudrun Brunegård, Azra Muranovic, Carina Ödebrink and Marie-Louise Hänel Sandström.

Within the framework of the project, the NGO “Responsible Citizens” has launched cooperation with Acted, an international humanitarian organization that joined the initiative to strengthen support for households most affected by the war. The project is implemented with financial support from the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund (UHF).

The teams of the NGO Responsible Citizens work in areas where the social burden increases every day. This is where Child-Friendly Spaces and mobile psychosocial support teams operate most actively. In the first half of 2025, nearly 10,000 children and their families received professional support.
