Відділення Польської Гуманітарної Акції в Україні оголошує відкритий запит до місцевих організацій про потенційне партнерство “Expression of Interest (EOI)”

Expression of Interest (EOI)

For 

Local NGO in Ukraine   

• Introduction: 

The armed conflict in eastern Ukraine has been going on since 2014. The local people are forced to leave their homes in search of safe shelter in other parts of the country. Humanitarian aid must be provided not only for those who have fled but also for those who are hosting displaced people and refugees. People fleeing from war are forced to abandon their previous lives and are jobless and penniless. They lack the bare essentials (food, warm clothes). One of the most vulnerable groups is children, for whom war is a traumatic experience. They need counselling and new opportunities for their education and development. Also vulnerable are elderly people, who are not able to look after themselves and satisfy their own needs in such difficult conditions. 

In Ukraine, PAH provides aid to satisfy the most basic needs. We have been operating in Ukraine since 2014, and in 2015 we established a permanent mission there. Our earliest activities were an immediate response to the crisis: we helped provide medical assistance, and we delivered food baskets, hygiene kits, blankets, sleeping bags and other bare necessities. Our top priority is to support the most vulnerable groups: elderly people, women, and children. We are able to reach them thanks to our cooperation with local partners. 

PAH provides consultations both at our information centre and during outreach field visits. We provide lawyer counselling, social counselling, career mentoring, vocational courses, open meetings on entrepreneurship and psychological consultation. 

PAH works to support and build local capacity and ensure an existing strategy and follow the localization workstream. To reach this goal, PAH involves local administrations, local NGOs, and beneficiaries to make sure that all the community participates in activities.
