NGO “Responsible Citizens” Joins the Ukraine Education Cluster

Thanks to our partners — Humanitarian Nova Poshta — we have delivered another batch of support to psychosocial support centres in Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Donetsk regions.

This is a story about fulfilling every child’s right to protection, development, and support — and about how the team of “Responsible Citizens,” together with UNICEF Ukraine, makes these rights a reality every day for families who have experienced war.

Oksana Ivatina, Project Coordinator of the NGO “Responsible Citizens,” completed a Training of Trainers on the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA).

In the Kharkiv region, our team supports people daily who have been forced to leave their homes due to the war. Most of them are families with children arriving from Vovchansk, Druzhkivka, Derhachi community, and other affected areas.

Yulia and her four children were evacuated from the occupied city of Dniprorudne. The forced relocation changed everything— a new city, no job, and an uncertain future. "I mostly try to manage on my own," Yulia shares. She cannot leave her youngest child unattended, and kindergartens are not operating, making it impossible to return to work for now.

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

Olga Kosse participated in events dedicated to World Mental Health Day in Kyiv.

In Pivdenne, Kharkiv region, even in difficult times, the community finds the strength to celebrate joy. During the City Day celebrations, we made sure that even the youngest residents felt cared for, valued, and protected.
