Supporting displaced families in Ukraine through Dorcas’ home visiting programme
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has forced numerous families to relocate, presenting significant challenges, especially for those caring for individuals with special needs. The Dorcas home visiting programme plays a critical role in supporting these families. By providing essential services, such as medical equipment, hygiene kits, and assistance in accessing legal and healthcare resources, volunteers ease the burden of displacement. This initiative has become an invaluable resource for families like Raisa’s, offering both practical and emotional support during a time of uncertainty and hardship.
