Helping safely: a new level of humanitarian responsibility
Genuine motivation is only the first step. Real responsibility begins with understanding how to provide assistance in a way that is safe — for children, for families, and for everyone involved
This was the focus of the Safeguarding training attended by representatives of Responsible Citizens NGO, supported by UNICEF Ukraine.
🔹 Over several days of intensive learning, we:
Gained a deep understanding of risks, including hidden ones that are often overlooked.
Acquired tools for developing internal safeguarding policies that are practical and actionable.
Learned communication practices to help speak openly about sensitive issues without fear.
And most importantly — trained our own facilitators, ready to share this knowledge with other teams across Ukraine.
For us, safeguarding is not a formality. It’s about people, dignity, and trust — trust that is earned through action, not just words.
We sincerely thank UNICEF Ukraine for their systemic approach, expert facilitation, and a partnership that empowers us to not only improve our methods, but to transform the culture of humanitarian engagement.

Since the beginning of autumn, our mobile teams of psychologists and facilitators have been visiting communities where people live under constant stress caused by the war and often have no access to professional support.
