The war in Ukraine has had a major impact on millions of people. Civilian targets continue to be hit, and access to basic services such as health, education and social services is severely restricted – especially for internally displaced and vulnerable groups. In the Mykolaiv region, thousands of people live with limited access to safe and accessible public services, and people with disabilities and children with special needs are often among the hardest hit.  

Danish People's Aid works in Ukraine with both emergency support and long-term reconstruction in close collaboration with local partners.  

Together with the Ukrainian organization Rokada, we are strengthening access to inclusive and safe services for vulnerable groups, as well as the capacity of local communities to manage the crisis and create sustainable solutions. We do this with the Access Space project, working to make public institutions more accessible and inclusive. We upgrade facilities, train staff and strengthen cooperation between civil society and authorities, so that people with disabilities, children and displaced people have real access to services and the opportunity to participate actively in society - both now and in the longer term.
