Knowing the needs, we create opportunities

According to the Economic Strategy Center of Ukraine, to the end of January 2024 there are 280,000 refugees from Ukraine in the United States from the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Facing the same challenges in new country such as language barriers, getting a job, and successfully socializing.

We believe that the challenge of integration in a new country for refugees can be vastly improved in quality if projects are created based on real needs
