HEALTHRIGHT HALFWAY HOUSES
HALFWAY HOUSES
BACKGROUND
On 24th February 2022 Russia started the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which resulted in massive destructions of civil and infrastructure buildings, and led to the largest human displacement crisis in the world. According to UN, every third Ukrainian was forced to leave his/her house to find a safe place for living. Moreover, many of forced internally displaced persons have suffered violence and torture on the temporarily occupied territories, therefore they need psychological aid and special attention
Target groups:
women with children
internally displaced persons;
people in difficult life circumstances
The Social Apartment provides services for pregnant women and young mothers with children in difficult life circumstances due to domestic violence, risky behavior or displacement due to the armed conflict in Ukraine. We offer support to women and girls who have survived violence, do not have safe housing or cannot provide for their children. Our Social Apartment is one of the few facilities that accepts women without documents. The shelter can accommodate up to 6 mothers and 7 children at a time.
From November 2024 to October 2025, 26 women and 37 children lived in the Social Apartment in Kyiv, and 6,221 services were provided; 15 women and 21 children lived in the Social Apartment in Kyiv-Lviv, and 2,206 services were provided
Social workers conduct both individual and group consultations with adults (parents, guardians) and children. Non-formal education activities for children and various master classes, trainings in art therapy are also held to stabilize the psycho-emotional state of people. In addition, based on an assessment of the needs of women/children, social workers refer beneficiaries to appropriate specialists/institutions to receive specialized services, public services (medical, legal), state assistance, and if necessary, accompany beneficiaries to such specialists/institutions.
