Support Older People in Ukraine

Project Report | Dec 18, 2024
Together, we're still supporting older Ukrainians

By Alex Garvey | Communications Manager

Over the past two-and-a-half years, supporters like you have provided older Ukrainians with food, psychosocial support, home-based care, warm blankets, and more. But, you have also helped us drive on-the-ground change. 

With your generous donations, we have been able to support four Community Safe Spaces, where older people and internally-displaced persons who have fled from other parts of Ukraine can come together, take classes, find community, access health services, and receive support. We are also actively working to reshape the broader humanitarian aid system through targeted projects and systemic advocacy—creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for older Ukrainians and ensuring their unique needs are not overlooked.

Explore the updates below to learn more about our work in Ukraine and see your impact in action: 

  • For many older people displaced by the ongoing war, starting over has come with significant challenges. Yet, they continue to find hope and resilience by building new lives together. Through simple acts like gardening or the support of HelpAge USA’s Community Safe Spaces, older Ukrainians are coming together to heal, learn, and find new strength and purpose. Read more 
  • For displaced older Ukrainians, our Community Safe Spaces provide a vital network of support, friendship, and stability. These safe spaces are not just locations; they are lifelines, helping individuals find community and hope in uncertain times. Discover incredible stories of resilience and community support from some of the HelpAge Community Safe Space participants in Novoyavorivsk and Lviv, Ukraine. Read more 
  • In the midst of conflict, older Ukrainians face significant challenges, especially those with serious illnesses. Read how we've provided older people like Galyna, Mykhailo, and Liubov with compassionate palliative care, pain relief, essential medical supplies, psychosocial support, dignity, and other vital services during their most difficult times. Read more  

Thank you for standing with us in this mission. Your continued support ensures we can reach the people who are most at-risk and provide not only aid, but dignity and hope. Together, we are making an extraordinary impact.
