November 2 — Social Workers’ Day
This day is an opportunity to thank those who support people in difficult life circumstances every single day. Social workers step in when all other resources are exhausted — when a person has lost their home, loved ones, job, or sense of safety.
Eleven years ago, Responsible Citizens began as a volunteer initiative. We collected essentials to help people affected by the war.
Today, our team brings together more than 200 social workers operating in five frontline regions of Ukraine — Donetsk, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy oblasts.
We work with families who have experienced loss, with people who fled the fighting, and with those who are on the edge of their own strength.
We help restore documents, find housing, access medical or psychological assistance — and do everything possible so that people are not left alone with their challenges.
“Over the years, we have built an effective system of social work — from assessing needs to long-term support. It allows us to care for the most vulnerable and help them regain stability. This is how trust, resilience, and the capacity of communities to act together are built,”
— Enrique Menendez, Director of Projects and Programs, Responsible Citizens NGO.
We thank every member of our social team for their professionalism, patience, and humanity.
Your daily work gives thousands of people a sense that they are not alone.
The strength of our team lies in mutual support, in the ability to listen to one another, and in moving together toward a common goal — helping people.
