Support That Warms: Winter Assistance for Those in Need
Winter always brings new challenges, but it is especially harsh for those living in war-affected areas. The Luhansk Association of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (LAOPD), in partnership with Solidar Suisse, is implementing the project “Guaranteed Support for the Population of Ukraine During the Winter Period,” funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
In frontline settlements, people face daily danger. Shelling, lack of heating, power outages, and water shortages have become a harsh reality. Many homes are damaged or destroyed, and evacuation is often not an option. Under such conditions, even the most basic necessities become critically important.
To support those in the most vulnerable situations, LAOPD is distributing winter humanitarian kits to those who need them the most. These include families headed by persons with disabilities, large families with children, and elderly or single individuals struggling to survive.
Aid is already being delivered to settlements in the Kharkiv region, with the next phase covering the Donetsk region. In total, 108 households will receive assistance as part of this project.
All kits are distributed free of charge, and the distribution process is carefully documented to ensure transparency and proper allocation.
We cannot stop the war, but we can make sure that those left near the frontlines have the support they need to get through the winter. Thanks to our partners, Solidar Suisse and SDC, we continue to provide critical aid to those who need it most.
💙 A huge thank you to everyone involved in this initiative! Together, we are stronger!

NBU initiates checks on bank accessibility following public incident
The National Bank of Ukraine announced that it would initiate checks on the accessibility of banking services after a high-profile case in which an amputee veteran was unable to use the services of one of the banks. This is an important and correct signal from the regulator. At the same time, it is difficult not to notice the main thing: systematic checks are launched only after a person has encountered barriers, humiliation and actual discrimination. Barrier-free access should not be a reaction to scandal. It should be a basic standard of operation — before a veteran, a person with a disability or another person with limited mobility finds themselves facing closed doors. This is not about formal requirements, but about real things: accessible entrances and interior spaces of branches; adapted services and equipment; trained staff who know how to help correctly; real, not just declarative, compliance with accessibility standards. At LAOPD , we constantly emphasise that: inspections and controls should be regular, not situational; accessibility to financial services is a right, not an exception after public pressure. We would like to believe that the NBU's initiative will be the beginning of systemic change, rather than a one-off response to a specific incident. Because human dignity should not depend on media coverage.

Final session of the training course ‘Barrier-free in action’: from knowledge to decisions
A three-day training course entitled ‘Barrier-free in action: inclusion, protection, sustainability ’ has come to an end in Dnipro. It brought together specialists from the social, educational and medical spheres and civil society organisations around a common goal — to implement barrier-free access not just in words, but in real everyday practices. During three intensive days, participants worked on key components of accessibility and learned to see the environment through the eyes of people with different needs. The training combined theory with practice and focused on the real challenges faced by communities. Participants: gained a deep understanding of the concept of accessibility and its components; learned to assess the accessibility of spaces and services in practice; worked on topics of inclusion, combating gender-based violence, and supporting children in vulnerable situations; discussed professional resilience and the prevention of emotional burnout; formed specific action plans to take back to their communities. The final day was a space for reflection, summarising and mutual support. It was here that a clear feeling emerged: accessibility becomes the norm when trained, motivated and responsible professionals take it on. The training took place within the framework of the project "Protection, Health Care and Inclusion of Vulnerable Populations in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia Regions," which is implemented with the support of OCHA Ukraine and implemented by the Luhansk Association of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities ( LAOPD ) in partnership with Volontariato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo ( VIS ). We would like to thank all participants for their openness, concern and willingness to change the environment around them.

Affordable housing as the basis for independent living
LAOPD continues to support people with disabilities in Kharkiv by helping to equip their living spaces so that they are safe, comfortable and humane. Ramps instead of stairs, accessible bathrooms, level floors, convenient entrances to the home — for some, this is just a normal renovation. For our clients, it is an opportunity to move around independently, live without constant dependence on outside help, and not be locked in their own homes. Each such intervention is not about comfort for comfort's sake . It is about dignity, safety and the human right to live a full life even in the difficult conditions of the frontline region. The results of this work are real stories of change . What was a barrier yesterday is now an accessible space for living. We sincerely thank our partners and donors — Solidar Suisse and Swiss Solidarity — for their trust, support and contribution to ensuring that people with disabilities have decent living conditions even where help is needed immediately. We continue to work where accessibility is needed not in theory, but here and now. Because accessible housing is not about the future. It is about today.
