Responsible Citizens NGO Launches a New Project in Partnership with Medico International

For the NGO Responsible Citizens, accessibility is not just a slogan — it’s a guiding principle we bring to life every day through our work with children, families, and communities.

The project is implemented by the NGO Responsible Citizens in partnership with JERU – Joint Emergency Response in Ukraine (Welthungerhilfe and Concern Worldwide), with financial support from the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund (UHF).

Responsible Citizens NGO has joined the Civil Society Collaboration Platform for the Best Interests of the Child — a space for cooperation between international, national and local organizations established to implement the Strategy to Ensure Every Child’s Right to Grow Up in a Family Environment in Ukraine (2024–2028).

Psychosocial support is provided as part of UNICEF’s project “Strengthening Community Capacity to Provide Core Protection and Resilience Services in Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia Regions,” implemented by Responsible Citizens NGO with support from the Government of the United States of America.

This decision is due to the unstable security and infrastructure situation in the communities of eastern Ukraine. Limited access to communication and the Internet, power outages, and difficult working conditions affect the ability of initiative groups to properly prepare and submit their project proposals.

The NGO “Responsible Citizens” team successfully implemented this project across four regions in Eastern Ukraine

Olena Bieloliptseva, Education Projects Coordinator at the NGO Responsible Citizens, took part in the inaugural meeting of the Coordination Center for the Development of Family-Based Upbringing and Child Care.

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.
