Happy Volunteer Day: From Emergency Response to Programmatic Support

As part of the project “Inclusive Education and Individual Support for Children in Zaporizhzhia Oblast”, implemented by the NGO Responsible Citizens with the support of Save the Children in Ukraine.

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).

From our first volunteer initiatives in Donetsk, we have grown into one of the largest humanitarian organisations operating in eastern Ukraine. Today, the Responsible Citizens NGO team includes more than 300 professionals working across Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy oblasts.

Payments are coming to an end for residents of Sumy Oblast who registered for multi-purpose cash assistance in the autumn. This support was organized by the NGO Responsible Citizens in partnership with JERU (a joint initiative of the international organizations Welthungerhilfe and Concern Worldwide) and funded by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany (AA).
