Creating Hope Together HOPE IN ACTION 2024 Nadiya, meaning "Hope" in Ukrainian, is more than an organization; it's our heart's commitment. In 2024, Nadiya remains committed to her mission of aiding refugees from Ukraine, while simultaneously embarking on a broader journey of extending support to those in need through a multifaceted approach encompassing art, body and trauma awareness methods, nature based therapy modalities, and various other interdisciplinary techniques. With our collaborators and diverse range of innovative methods, we support integration, cultivate resilience, unity, and hope, illuminating a brighter path forward. We have at the moment one worker (50%) and we are part of Erasmus+ project for the next two years with international partners. We are looking for different funding from Finland at the moment, our yearly budget being around 30 000 - 50 000 €.

Healing happens in relationship with one another, with each other in a safe and inclusive community and in relation to our natural environment. We aim at creating a sense of belonging and empowerment, strengthening self-worth and confidence among Ukrainian refugees & their host communities by creative methods of peace-building and inclusivity that are both community-driven and embodied in their approach; We organize educational workshops, trainings, art & nature therapies, cultural and art events, newsletter, fundraising events, online platform and network & community support. Collaboration and Coordination: Nadiya collaborates closely with other NGOs and field specialists to coordinate activities, workshops, peer support programs, and integration initiatives, education, fostering diversity and growth within communities. In 2023, Nadiya became a co-recipient of an Erasmus grant for a two-years international project in collaboration with five other international associations working with refugees in France, Italy, Jordan and Armenia. Trauma-Sensitive Services: Recognizing the unique challenges of the displaced trauma survivors, Nadiya offers trauma-sensitive services and training programs. These initiatives promote mental well-being, resilience, and vital coping skills, creating a safe and supportive environment for recovery and support rebuilding lives in a new environment. Cultivating Hope and Community: Nadiya's commitment extends to making a positive and lasting impact on the lives of Ukrainian refugees, communities facing crises, individuals, and organizations working tirelessly with them. We ensure they receive comprehensive support to preserve culture and tradition, develop design skills for new life narratives to rebuild their lives and integrate into new intercultural communities, fostering stability, peace and hope for a brighter futureMain Projects / Activities
