April at UСA: a generator for the community, international meetings and over 1,200 classes for children
One of the main events of the month was the transfer of a powerful generator to the Solonytsivska community.
The system, which provides heat to over 1,200 residents, depends on this equipment. In the event of a power outage, the generator will be able to support the operation of the necessary equipment and reduce the risk of heat supply interruption.
«"The situation with heating depends on the intensity of shelling. Today, the houses are warm, but everything can change in an instant. The generator will help us be more independent and maintain the necessary temperature in the homes of residents," said Andrii Lytvynov, head of the Solonytsivska community.
For UCA, this is not just transferred equipment. It is an additional support for the community, which must be prepared for emergency outages and rapid changes in the security situation.
In April, the UCA team participated in Career Days at the Semyon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics.
At the organization's stand, students learned how the charitable sector works, what projects UCA implements, and how you can get your first practical experience through internships, volunteering, or participating in the work of a team.
We weren't just talking about vacancies. It was important for us to show that the public sector needs people with different skills: in communications, analytics, project management, education, working with partners, and organizing events.
Such meetings help young people see more professional paths, and UBA to get to know students who want to study and work on socially important tasks.
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the UBA, Dan Radion, and the organization's representative in Switzerland, Valentyn Bezshapkin, joined the preparation of the Ukrainian part of the architectural festival in Switzerland.
One of the central topics was the architecture of Kharkiv and Ukrainian-Swiss cooperation. Participants spoke about the city that continues to live and develop in conditions of constant danger, as well as about the future of its restoration.
For UCA, it is important that Kharkiv is known internationally not only for its destruction. It is a city with a unique architectural heritage, strong professional communities, and people who are already thinking about its future today.
In April, UCA Chairman Oleksiy Kurtsev joined Nova Ukraine's meeting with partner organizations in Ukraine.
They talked about what the public sector faces today: unstable funding, constant change, and the need to quickly restructure work according to the situation.
During the meeting, the UCA team met with Nova Ukraine CEO Erin Elizabeth McKee and learned more about the organization's plans and directions of work.
Later, Erin visited the Zmistovno educational center in Kharkiv and Point of Invincibility in Cherkaska Lozova. She saw how classes were conducted, met the teams, and talked with children and parents.
It is important for partners to see not only the numbers in the reports, but also the people for whom the projects are created. Such visits help to better understand the working conditions in the Kharkiv region and hear the direct experience of families and teams.
In April, 959 classes were held at the "Zmistovno" educational centers.
Children and teenagers studied school subjects, made up for educational losses, engaged in creativity, and communicated with their peers. Behind each lesson is the work of teachers, tutors, and administrators who meet children every day and help them learn in a comfortable environment.
Another 264 classes were held in four Spaces of Indestructibility. Children studied mathematics, Ukrainian and English, history, were engaged in creativity, dancing, singing, and physical activities.
In communities where schools are damaged or unable to function fully, such spaces become a place not only for learning. Here children find friends, socialize, try new things, and parents feel that the community continues to live.
Rebuilding the educational infrastructure will take time. But childhood and learning cannot wait. That's why the UCA team continues to create opportunities for children today.
April combined practical assistance to communities, educational work, international meetings, and development of cooperation with partners. In each of these areas, it is important for us to start from the real needs of people and look for solutions that can improve their everyday lives.
Support the programs of the Ukrainian Charity Alliance and help us create more opportunities for the communities of the Kharkiv region.
