SPILKA PORUCH Charitable Foundation

Helping people restart their lives during the war

We help displaced people build a life in a new community — from first support to learning, work and new social ties. We create development opportunities for children and teenagers and bring people together as a community.

Who we are

SPILKA PORUCH — support where new opportunities begin

After forced displacement people have to rebuild their daily lives, find work and restore their social circle. We bring the support they need together in one place and help people gradually find their footing and become more independent.

For children and teenagers we create an environment of quality free out-of-school education, life skills and new friendships.

Our goal is for people to build their future in Ukraine and take part in its recovery.

Two core directions

How SPILKA PORUCH helps

Core direction
IDP Hub
A one-stop shop for support after displacement: information, basic humanitarian aid, help finding housing and work, psychological support and legal aid through partners.
Learning, workshops and integration events help people build new connections and become part of the community. The University of the Third Age for people 55+ operates within the Hub.

How support works

Support on the way to independence

After displacement, housing, work, children’s education and wellbeing are closely connected. SPILKA PORUCH helps address them together — according to the needs of each person or family.

Find a footing
Information, basic humanitarian aid and help finding housing make it possible to settle in a new place.
Open up opportunities
Education, life skills and employment support create conditions for greater independence.
Become part of the community
Classes, meetings and integration events help people make friends, support each other and take part in community life.

Psychological and psychosocial support accompany this path in all our ongoing programmes. Several kinds of support may be needed at once; people who need longer-term help receive individual case management.
