150 days of war: how we did in the fifth month of ForestCom humanitarian activity

150 days as we keep working toward achieving our victory. For the last month of the war, the team of the ForestCom NGO has systematically been developing stable models of work in the humanitarian field of activity, continuing to network, covering the needs of people in communities affected during the war and internally displaced persons, as well as setting ambitious goals for their work on the humanitarian front:

- About 5,000 people living in communities affected by the war or sheltered by IDPs received targeted humanitarian assistance. Our team sent food, medicines, personal hygiene products, clothing and shoes to the cities and villages of 20 regions of Ukraine. The Local Humanitarian Response Initiative project in cooperation with the ANTS National Interest Protection Network NGO continues.

- Experts Taras Kharachko and Ihor Skolskyi conducted eco-educational excursions for children who were forced to leave their homes with their parents and now live in the Zolochiv community and an excursion to the Botanical Garden of the National Forestry Engineering University of Ukraine and the Wooden Craft Museum. We also gave the children gifts from their peers from Germany. We are pleased to see children with smiles on their faces.

- We started a humanitarian project with the support of the United Voices in Action (VIA) program. The first step in implementing the project was establishing cooperation and signing memoranda with representatives of the Zolochiv, Zhuravnj, Boryslav, and Shchyrets communities of the Lviv region to study the needs of IDPs over 30 years old living in these communities. Over the next three months, we will provide them with food, household chemicals and hygiene products and transfer the packages from hand to hand.

- Oksana Peliukh, assistant project manager, reported on the results and experiences of the ForestCom NGO's quick response to the challenges of the time at the Summit of Volunteer and Humanitarian Initiatives in Truskavets. 

The fifth month of the war made us stronger and helped us stick together. There is only victory ahead!

We thank our donors for their support!
