Save Ukraine and ADRA Ukraine have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation to strengthen interaction and partnership. The signing was held at the Save Ukraine Center for Child and Family Support in Irpin.

ADRA is an international humanitarian network that brings together people from over 130 countries to provide humanitarian aid to those suffering from poverty and hardship, creating positive partnerships through responsible action.

“It is important to unite efforts to protect families and children from the consequences of war, to help those wounded by the war. It is crucial to care for orphans, children with disabilities, and families of veterans,” said Mykola Kuleba, founder and head of Save Ukraine.

One of ADRA’s main areas of focus in Ukraine is psychosocial support for those affected by the war. Leonid Rutkovskyi, head of ADRA Ukraine, stated, “Mental health and psychosocial support are now our specialization because without healthy and healed people, there can be no country.”

The first stage of cooperation is the provision of psychological services in the rehabilitation centers of Save Ukraine. The next steps will be joint integrated programs to address the specific needs of vulnerable and affected people, the development of cooperation in evacuation, and assistance for the further accommodation of people, especially those with disabilities.

The Save Ukraine Center for Child and Family Support in Irpin is one of the Save Ukraine rehabilitation locations. It introduces innovative models of social services for all who need it.
At the Center, people can receive early intervention services, consultations with professional educators, psychologists, defectologists, rehabilitation specialists, and speech therapists, participate in sports and art therapy for children, and bridge educational gaps—all free of charge. Comprehensive psychosocial support is also provided for families.
