Alla Maslakhova

I’ve always had an active stance and a strong desire to make the world a better place, ever since I can remember. I don’t see this as just a character trait, but rather a fundamental part of my personality that drives everything I do. This was true when I tried my hand in private business and pursued commercial projects.

After the full-scale invasion, I had to ask myself a serious question: can I just stay where I am? The answer was simple and clear to me and my entire family—we have to help.

I got involved wherever hands were needed. Very quickly, it became my main remedy against the paralyzing fear of the situation around us. I am very grateful for the experience I gained with the "Dity" NGO and the Ukrainian Child Rights Network.

In 2023, a new chapter began for me. "Responsible Citizens" became a reliable antidote to the overwhelming fear we had to face. I cherish every day with this team, grateful for the opportunity to actively change the lives of those in need and to fight together for a dignified life for all.
