People in Need

War not only robs children of their safety, but also of their daily routine, social interactions, and sense of stability. The loss of educational opportunities is one of the most painful consequences of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

With the support of EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid, our team People in Need Ukraine are helping schools in five oblasts of Ukraine. Tutors are helping children catch up with their maths, Ukrainian, and English studies, while school shelters are being repaired and the psychological resilience of pupils, parents and teachers is being strengthened.

After another massive Russian attack on Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine, many families across the country—including our colleagues—faced damaged homes, frightened children, sleepless nights, and the unending exhaustion of living under constant attacks.

And yet, as with every other attack, the people returned to work, took their children to school, checked in on loved ones, and life carried on.

This article captures what life in Ukraine looks like today after yet another night of bombing. Through the lens Albert Lores, see the destruction wrought on Ukrainians, but also their resilience as they have adapted to this reality.

💡 At Civil Society Now (CSN), we are an initiative by People in Need that provides a digital platform designed to strengthen the institutional capacity of local CSOs. We work to "flip the power dynamic" in the international development sector by enabling grassroots groups to move from sub-grantee roles to becoming primary recipients of international donor funding.

We provide our members with standardised operational resources, including templates and training modules focused on financial management, donor compliance, monitoring and evaluation, and safeguarding. Additionally, the initiative facilitates technical support through peer learning sessions, consultancy services, and advisory clinics, ensuring local organisations meet the professional requirements of the global aid system.

🔎However, for non-members, we maintain a repository of accessible resources intended for general use. These include open-access policy templates, procedural guides, and introductory training materials. These tools allow you to align your internal structures with international standards and improve operational efficiency independently.
