About
In Ukraine IPDs are confronted to precarious housing situations bordering homelessness, with overcrowding and poor confort. The situation is particularly dire for elders relocated in the countryside.
Improving their places of living could also benefit and strengthen the ties of the host community, and improve overall quality of life.
We would like to partner with other European initiatives around this topic to address the situation on a cross border level.
