The “Social Protection” program is one of the key operational areas of Caritas Ukraine. The program includes projects providing support and services to vulnerable groups at risk in the protection sphere, including large and low-income families, people with disabilities and severe illnesses, elderly individuals living alone, victims of violence, individuals who have lost their homes due to military actions, and many others.<\/p>\n

The first Crisis Centers were established in 2015, initially operating in four locations (Kyiv, Kramatorsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Mariupol). Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the geographical coverage has significantly expanded. In 2024, there are 38 stationary crisis centers across Ukraine. Additionally, eight mobile teams operate in frontline regions such as Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk regions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
