The team of Responsible Citizens NGO consistently develops partnerships and collaboration in frontline regions

The award was initiated by the NGO "Grants, Ratings and Nominations" in collaboration with an expert council. It honors individuals and organizations that foster international dialogue and promote a positive image of Ukraine abroad.

A training session titled “Team-Based Care in Assessing a Child’s Needs” was held in Zaporizhzhia, organized by the NGO Responsible Citizens within the UNICEF Ukraine project.

For our organisation, such platforms are a continuation of our daily work in communities living in the context of war, displacement and protracted crises. It is there that the understanding of the key shift we are discussing at URC is formed: young people can no longer be seen only as recipients of support — they are already part of the solutions that shape community recovery.

The event was organized to mark the International Day of the Social Pedagogue, celebrated on October 2.

Regional coordinator Oksana Ivatina completed training under the "Advocacy for the Right of the Child to Family Environment and Better Care" program, organized by Save the Children.

The teams of the NGO Responsible Citizens work in areas where the social burden increases every day. This is where Child-Friendly Spaces and mobile psychosocial support teams operate most actively. In the first half of 2025, nearly 10,000 children and their families received professional support.

Support is provided within the framework of the UNICEF project “Protection Services for the Most Vulnerable Children and Parents (or Their Caregivers) in Communities of Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts,” implemented by Responsible Citizens NGO with financial support from the Government of the United States and UNICEF Ukraine.
