Annual Report

2014

Kiev, Ukraine

We are in Kiev since 2005, organized as an independent association of people interested to

help those in need out of poverty and homelessness.

Regardless the difficult economic, social & political situations and crises in our country, we continue our activities in pursuing our mission, in solidarity with those most vulnerable of us.

In 2014 our activities focused on the following:

• STREET WORK including social patrolling with a car, delivery of hot meals, distribution

of clothes & items of hygiene in the streets of Kiev.

• Professional/vocational integration & meaningful occupation :

– a CANDLE WORKSHOP with its education on candle-making & candles production;

– a STREET PAPER to give a voice to the homelessness.

• Education and leisure time for the ORPHANS & CHILDREN from the vulnerable families.
