We have been working in several European countries and regions of the former Soviet Union since 2004, supporting vulnerable communities and improving living conditions, especially in the health and social sectors. We also provide assistance to people affected by the war in Ukraine and other humanitarian crises.

Our office in Ukraine helps people affected by the conflict. We provide humanitarian assistance, provide decent housing, renovate health centers, and help displaced people regain their livelihoods and stand on their own feet.

In Moldova, we improve access to healthcare and social services. Our office in Georgia has been operating since 2015 and focuses on developing healthcare and supporting small businesses in rural areas. Our work brings long-term change and helps people stand on their own feet.
