🏡 Veterans policy as a strategic priority for Ukrainian communities In frontline communities, development strategies are impossible without attention to veterans and their families. In the Mishkovo-Pogorilivska community, hundreds of residents are serving in the military — and returning to civilian life is becoming a new challenge. Some veterans do not see themselves outside of service. Others are searching for new opportunities — but expect decent conditions. That is why the community created a veterans’ space and is working to understand the real needs of defenders. 🗨️ “A veteran who returns to his community and who was successfully engaged in business before serving will not agree to work, say, as a veteran’s assistant with a salary of 20,000 hryvnia (~$470). We are studying such problems through our public organization ”Veteran Space,” which was created by military personnel released from captivity and their wives. By studying the needs of veterans and their loved ones, we are trying to earn the trust of defenders so that when they return home, they feel needed and protected,” emphasizes head of the Mishkovo-Pogorilivska community Andriy Botanin. 📰 How southern communities of Ukraine seek a balance between security and development, update strategies amid constant change, mobilize resources, and build partnerships — read the full article: ldn.org.ua/en/event/achie… #Veterans #CommunityDevelopment #ResilientCommunities #StrategicPlanning #LocalGovernance #Ukraine

📓🔄 “We changed the strategy because reality was changing”: how Ukrainian communities plan amid uncertainty Communities usually draft strategies imagining a stable future. But what happens when the future is constantly uncertain? 📑 In 2024, the Bilozerka community in Kherson oblast prepared its first development strategy — only to face a frontline advance that forced a complete reassessment. Other communities faced similar challenges. 🏭 In Shevchenkivska, residents resisted a plant for recycling war debris despite planned investments and road repairs. These experiences showed that strategy isn’t just about economy or infrastructure — it’s about trust, communication, and people’s readiness for change. A study even revealed a budget misconception: residents thought agriculture was the main revenue source, but 70% came from industry. Real strategy starts with honest dialogue, not documents. 📰 Read the full article to see how southern Ukrainian communities updated their strategies amid constant change: ldn.org.ua/en/event/achie… #LocalGovernance #StrategicPlanning #ResilientCommunities #DevelopmentStrategy #CivicEngagement #SouthernUkraine #CommunityResilience #SocialChange #EconomicDevelopment #PublicParticipation #CommunityLeadership #PlanningUnderUncertainty

🧑‍🏫 From consultations to decisions that transform communities The Podil Human Rights Center (PHRC) has been working since 1995. It was founded by seven enthusiasts of professional lawyers and law students with a simple idea: to explain people’s rights to them. Over time, the Center has grown into a strong human rights and advocacy organization that helps not only individuals but entire communities. 🎨 In 1998, PHRC’s research helped stop the closure of art schools in Vinnytsia. 🌳 In 2007, it protected the historic Turbiv Park from development and helped secure its status as a protected natural monument. These are classic examples of advocacy: facts, research, dialogue, and persistence rather than loud slogans. ⚖️ A key focus of PHRC’s work is free legal aid. Every month, the team of lawyers provides more than 100 legal consultations. 🤝 Support from @GlobalGiving helps cover travel costs, office expenses, and the organization’s technical capacity. 📰 Read more about the work of the Podillia Human Rights Center, its advocacy campaigns, and its daily legal assistance in the full article: ldn.org.ua/en/event/human… #HumanRights #LegalAid #FreeLegalAid #HumanRightsDefenders #AccessToJustice #RuleOfLaw #CivicEngagement #CommunityDevelopment #CivilSociety #SocialImpact #StrategicLitigation #HumanRightsInUkraine #SupportCommunities #PodilHumanRightsCenter

⚖️ Chernihiv Public Committee for the Protection of Human Rights: 26 years of helping those in need 👥 A small team of ten professionals works not only in the Chernihiv oblast but also covers the Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts. At the same time, assistance is available to people from any region and even from abroad, regardless of place of residence, status, or income. 🗨️ “We provide over 1,200 legal consultations per year. In terms of secondary legal aid, this translates to a 90% success rate in court cases. We also have a number of successful cases in the European Court of Human Rights,” says Iryna Biryuk, a lawyer with the Chernihiv Public Committee for the Protection of Human Rights. People most often learn about the organization through direct communication: during legal awareness events, from government institutions, or through recommendations from those who have already received help. Trust and real results are the best calling card of the Chernihiv Public Committee for the Protection of Human Rights. 👩‍🏫 Flexible funding from @GlobalGiving in 2025 became a guarantee of continued stable work for the organization. With the support of GlobalGiving, the organization holds one information and awareness-raising event per month, always combined with open dialogue between people and lawyers. Participants can receive assistance on the spot or get answers to questions that concern them. 📰 Read more about alarming trends, real stories of assistance, and the challenges of wartime at the link 👉 ldn.org.ua/en/event/chern… #HumanRights #AccessToJustice #LegalAid #CivilSociety #RuleOfLaw #HumanRightsDefenders #JusticeForAll #CommunitySupport

💛 When help finds a way even where there seems to be almost none. In frontline communities of the Kherson region, every request for assistance is not just an appeal — it is a challenge. Especially when it concerns a child with a disability and a rare rehabilitation device. 🔗 The Link platform brought together those who were looking for a solution and those who were ready to help. This is how a 4-year-old child received gait trainers — something the family had been unsuccessfully trying to find for two years. How did it become possible? 📌 Identifying the need during the work of the mobile team of the NGO “Poruch” 📌 Submitting the request through the Link platform 📌 Finding the resource within the partner network 📌 Support from the charitable foundation “We Are from Ukraine 2022” 📌 Delivery thanks to the coordination of several teams under challenging security conditions ✨ This is more than a single success story. It is an example of how partnership transforms complex requests into real solutions and how systematic cooperation shortens the path from a problem to help. 📰 Read more about the success story 👉 ldn.org.ua/en/success-sto… 💻 Learn more about Link 👉 link.ldn.org.ua 🤝 Link is a mechanism that has been helping communities in the Mykolaiv and Kherson oblasts find solutions to humanitarian needs since 2024.

🎞 When Help Crosses the Line Nataliia, a displaced mother rebuilding her life after conflict, turns to humanitarian services for support. During a routine medical consultation, a humanitarian worker begins contacting her privately and crossing professional boundaries. What first seems like kindness soon feels unsafe. Unsure how to respond, Nataliia reaches out to a reporting hotline. There, she finds support, understanding, and reassurance that she is not alone. Her case is addressed, accountability is ensured, and she regains a sense of safety. ⚠️ Safeguarding is essential in humanitarian work. Assistance must never come with hidden expectations. Everyone has the right to dignity, respect, and safe ways to report misconduct. If something feels wrong, speak up.

🤔 What does community resilience look like in a country at war? 💙💛 In Ukraine, it means planning not only for survival — but for recovery, governance, and future growth. Over the past three years, the Legal Development Network, together with @people_in_need and with the support of the UK Government @UKaid, has worked alongside frontline and de-occupied communities to strengthen local capacity under extraordinary conditions. 📋 At a recent closing meeting, representatives of three communities in southern Ukraine reflected on what this collaboration made possible: 📌 Long-term recovery planning in crisis settings 📌 Access to essential public services 📌 Community safety and risk awareness 📌 Data-driven coordination and partnerships One of the greatest challenges remains human capital loss due to displacement. Yet, partners observed that the strategic planning process itself became a tool for cohesion, helping local teams align, engage residents, and rebuild confidence in the future. 💬 “Resilience is continuing to plan when no one prepared you for the path ahead,” shared a community leader—capturing a reality many crisis-affected regions around the world can relate to. This experience offers a transferable lesson: investing in local governance and planning, even during conflict, lays the foundation for sustainable recovery.

🤝 The Centre for Support of Local Initiatives, a member of the Legal Development Network, has long been supporting internally displaced persons in the Dnipropetrovsk oblast of Ukraine as they adapt to new lives. The organization works directly in communities, providing legal awareness sessions where displaced people live and helping them navigate issues such as social benefits, housing, employment, and access to services — often becoming a first point of stability after displacement. 🔗 With flexible support from @GlobalGiving, the Centre has strengthened its team and moved from emergency response to long-term solutions, supporting deeper IDP integration and cooperation with local authorities. 👉 Read more about the path from support to integration: ldn.org.ua/en/event/stand… #InternallyDisplacedPersons #CommunitySupport #IDPIntegration #GlobalGiving #Ukraine

✨ The Local Initiatives Support Center is a member organization of the Legal Development Network that works with internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Dnipropetrovsk oblast — one of the regions hosting the largest number of displaced people in Ukraine. The organization helps IDPs regain control over their lives through a comprehensive approach that combines legal aid, psychological support, and employment assistance. Lawyers, case managers, a psychologist, and an employment specialist work as one team — without formal barriers, focusing not on status or registration but on people’s real needs. 📊 In 2025 alone, the team provided more than 3,500 consultations, including: ▪️ over 1,300 legal consultations on social benefits, housing, and labour rights; ▪️ more than 300 people received individual social case management support; ▪️ 180 IDPs found jobs or restored employment; ▪️ around 250 people received psychological support. 🤝 Support from the Legal Development Network and the charitable platform @GlobalGiving enables the Centre to work systematically — not limiting assistance to one-off consultations, but accompanying people throughout their adaptation and integration into new communities. 📰 Read the full story about the Centre’s daily work and support for displaced people in the full article 👉 ldn.org.ua/en/event/stand… #InternallyDisplacedPersons #IDPs #ForcedDisplacement #HumanitarianResponse #CommunitySupport #LocalInitiativesSupportCenter

⚖️ Chernihiv Human Rights Protection Committee: 26 Years of Helping Those in Need During the war, gender-based violence becomes less visible — and more dangerous. Fear and pressure often prevent survivors from seeking help. 💼 The Chernihiv Human Rights Protection Committee (CHRPC) provides comprehensive support, combining legal aid with psychological, medical, and humanitarian assistance. Lawyers help survivors obtain urgent restraining orders, represent them in court, and coordinate support with partners. 🌱 One survivor, after years of domestic violence, was able to leave safely within a day of receiving an urgent restraining order, undergo rehabilitation, and start a new life in Kyiv — including retraining and helping others. 🤝 With support from @GlobalGiving in 2025, CHRPC continues long-term work, accompanying people not only through crises but also on the path to recovery. 📰 Read the full story: ldn.org.ua/en/event/chern… #HumanRights #GenderBasedViolence #SupportSurvivors #LegalAid #AccessToJustice #RuleOfLaw #CivilSociety #NGOImpact #WomenRights #SupportUkraine

🎞 In this series of illustrations, we tell the story of Yaroslava – a young woman who, after successive forced relocations, is trying to find stability in a new city. Her ordinary day suddenly turns into a distressing experience when an aid worker tries to abuse her vulnerability, but reaching out for support helps her regain a sense of safety and control. 1⃣ Yaroslava has gone through two forced relocations because of the war. She is trying to find stability in a new city. One day, she visits a humanitarian doctor at a community centre visited by aid organizations. 2⃣ After the consultation, Yaroslava notices a new follower on TikTok: it is the aid worker who helped her, the same doctor, whose name is Maksym. He behaves politely and invites her for coffee. Yaroslava thinks Maksym seems pleasant and charismatic, so she agrees. 3⃣ At the café, Maksym becomes overly persistent: flowers, compliments, and insistent touches. This starts to worry Yaroslava. What was supposed to be a simple meeting suddenly feels unsafe. 4⃣ In the evening, Yaroslava shares her experience with her mother. Her mother tells her that this behaviour is not appropriate for an aid worker, and together they call the reporting organization’s hotline. The hotline worker supports her. She realizes she doesn’t have to deal with her feelings alone. 5⃣ After the call, Yaroslava feels she did the right thing: she was supported and received information about accessing psychological help. Maksym is held accountable for his actions, and Yaroslava once again feels safe and confident. ⚠️ And please remember, you are not alone!

⚖️ Zaporizhzhia NGO STEP Turns Free Legal Aid into Courtroom Victories After the full-scale war, thousands lost homes and documents, and access to archives from occupied territories became impossible. Without property registration, compensation is often denied. 👩‍⚖️ In Zaporizhzhia, attorney Mariia Cherep handles these cases through NGO STEP, supported by @GlobalGiving and the Legal Development Network. This funding allows the team to provide full legal support, not just consultations. 🏠 Key work includes defending property rights in court, helping people file lawsuits when administrative routes fail — with growing positive outcomes in Zaporizhzhia. 📑 Other assistance covers pensions, mobilization issues, family matters, inheritance, and establishing legal facts. 🤝 Beyond advice, Mariia prepares documents, represents clients in court, and runs legal awareness sessions in relocated communities — made possible thanks to GlobalGiving’s support. “We receive stacks of rejections from the state registrar. Then we help people prepare documents to file lawsuits. As a result, we have a positive track record in Zaporizhia — we win these cases,” Mariia Cherep shares her experience. 👉 Read the full story: ldn.org.ua/en/event/zapor… #LegalAid #AccessToJustice #NGO #Ukraine #CourtVictories #PropertyRights #HumanRights #RelocatedCommunities #WarImpact #SupportCommunities #GlobalGiving #JusticeForAll

❄️💫 We begin the year with support. During the full-scale invasion, we need it more than ever. The people who are close to us are its source. They give us the strength to endure and to live. 🎬 We are sharing a video by our member organization, the charitable foundation “Right to Protection,” created as part of the information campaign “People Are the Support.” Its aim is to show that despite different experiences, pain, and trials, we are all united by the need for support. One can become a source of support not only through great deeds, but also through simple human kindness that restores a sense of safety and trust. The video brings together the stories of those whose lives have been changed by the war forever: veterans, internally displaced people, families who survived occupation, people who lost loved ones, and volunteers. 🙌 They share how humanity and mutual support helped them endure, find the strength to keep living, and believe that there is always someone nearby to lean on. If you feel you have the strength to support someone — do it, because this is where unity begins. #PeopleAreTheSupport #SupportAndSolidarity #HumanityMatters #MutualSupport #UnityInAction

💙💛 In the December 2025 digest of the Legal Development Network, we look back on a year shaped by inspiring cooperation, values-driven initiatives, and effective solutions, while also reflecting on how experience is transforming into sustainable change for communities. 📰👀 This issue highlights advocacy-led shifts in veteran support, new coordination roles in humanitarian response, and the long-term impact of our member organizations working on the ground — all made possible by the trust and support of our community and partners. 🎄 As the year comes to a close, we thank everyone who has stood with us during these challenging times. Looking ahead to 2026, we hope it will bring resilience, meaningful achievements, and renewed strength in our shared pursuit of justice and peace. Explore the key highlights of the month below. 📰 Transformation of Experience: How Advocacy Changed the Approach to Veteran Support in Communities ldn.org.ua/en/event/trans… 📰 “Localization Is Not Only About Delegating Authority, but Above All About Delegating Trust”: How the Legal Development Network Coordinates the WASH Cluster in Mykolaiv Oblast ldn.org.ua/en/event/local… 📰 A year of work by the Podil Legal League: a precedent in the Supreme Court, training for police officers, and dozens of consultations every month ldn.org.ua/en/event/a-yea… 📰 Chernihiv Public Committee for the Protection of Human Rights: 26 years of helping those in need ldn.org.ua/en/event/chern… 📰 “WASH in Schools”: Verification and Prioritization of Schools in Need of Sanitation Infrastructure Repairs ldn.org.ua/en/event/wash-… 📰 Zaporizhzhia NGO STEP turns free legal aid into won court cases ldn.org.ua/en/event/zapor… #LegalDevelopmentNetwork #YearInReview #DecemberDigest #RuleOfLaw #AccessToJustice #CommunityResilience #VeteranSupport #HumanitarianResponse #WASH #CivilSociety #LegalAid #JusticeAndPeace

🏘️ The return of veterans is not only about individual adaptation — first and foremost, it is about the readiness of communities. This is the key emphasis of the two-year experience of the Vidnova project, which demonstrated that systematic advocacy, partnerships, and strategic planning can change the approach to veteran policy at the local level. Advocacy has become not a standalone activity, but a cross-cutting process — from research to the implementation of practical solutions. Communities have received tools to shape veteran policy, including a checklist for establishing veteran spaces. The experience of the Tlumach community proved that local strategies, targeted programs, and veteran spaces can become real pillars of support for veterans and their families. At the same time, advocacy helped identify systemic challenges — in the work of veteran support specialists, interagency cooperation, and regulatory frameworks. 💼 A separate focus is the development of veteran entrepreneurship: comprehensive support programs deliver not only business outcomes but also contribute to the social integration of veterans. This experience confirms that investments in local policy and infrastructure create the foundation for sustainable services and scalable solutions. 👉 Read more about the transformation of veteran support, practical community cases, and key advocacy lessons at the link: ldn.org.ua/en/event/trans… This material was prepared by the Legal Development Network in cooperation with the humanitarian organization People in Need and with the financial support of the Czech Development Agency (CzechAid). #VeteranSupport #VeteranPolicy #AdvocacyInAction #CommunityDevelopment #VeteransReintegration #LocalGovernance #VeteranEntrepreneurship #SocialImpact #UkraineRecovery

⚖️ When the law is not just a formality, but real support. For 15 years, the Podil Legal League NGO from Khmelnytskyi has been helping people facing difficult life circumstances. During the war, this assistance became critically important — for service members and veterans, families of the fallen, internally displaced persons, and survivors of domestic violence. 👥 Behind the organization is a team of professional lawyers and advocates who take on complex and long-term cases, prepare legal documents and requests, and represent clients in court. Each month, they provide 75–85 individual consultations and dozens of cases where people are not left to face their problems alone. 📚 Another extremely important direction is legal education and training. The Podil Legal League works with students, IDPs, people with disabilities, and military families — explaining complex legal issues in simple language and teaching people how to protect their rights. They also work to improve the system from within. In 2025, the NGO’s Executive Director, Anastasia Ploschynska, conducted five training sessions for about 100 patrol police officers. These sessions covered proper responses to domestic and gender-based violence, children’s rights, police authority limits, and interaction with guardianship bodies. Correct decisions in such situations often determine the safety and lives of people. ✨ The year 2025 was a serious challenge for the human rights sector due to the suspension of funding for many programs. The Podil Legal League was able to maintain its team and continue working thanks to the flexible support of GlobalGiving. 🔍 Looking ahead, the organization plans to develop communications and fundraising, return to regular outreach consultations in communities, and expand secondary legal assistance. The demand for free legal support remains high — and the team is ready to take on even more complex cases to influence legal practice. 📰 Read more about the organization’s work, trainings, challenges of the war, and future plans here: ldn.org.ua/en/event/a-yea… #LegalAid #HumanRights #PodilskaPravovaLiha #JusticeForAll #LegalSupport #WarImpact #IDPs #VeteransSupport #DomesticViolenceAwareness #ChildRights #CommunitySupport #LegalEducation #PoliceTraining #HumanRightsUkraine #AccessToJustice #SocialImpact

One small action in one country can trigger large-scale change in another. This is the Global Domino Effect — and it is happening right now in Southern Ukraine. When a donor in Germany, Canada, the United States, or any other country clicks “support,” the impact of that contribution travels much further than it may seem. Here’s what one donation sets in motion: 1️⃣ A contribution 2️⃣ Purchase of materials to equip a youth space in Novohryhorivka 3️⃣ Local youth and volunteers rebuild their community with their own hands 4️⃣ Creation of a warm, safe, and functional space for 100+ children from Novohryhorivka and neighboring villages 5️⃣ Smiles, learning, recovery, and the return of everyday life 6️⃣ A more resilient Ukraine rebuilding from within Novohryhorivka, in the Mykolaiv region, was 90% destroyed during the occupation. Yet despite this, a powerful engine of resilience emerged — local youth. They have already completed 90% of the work on the future youth center: clearing debris, renovating the interior, plastering the facade. With limited resources, but extraordinary determination. Today, children and young people are already using the space. To fully complete the center — insulation, furniture, and a summer outdoor area — we need $5,000, with only $2,151 remaining. 👉 Your “domino” in the days before the New Year can be the next piece that accelerates recovery for an entire community. 🔗 Support the campaign: goto.gg/67332 Together, we can turn individual actions into systemic, long-term change. #GlobalDominoEffect #UkraineRecovery #CommunityResilience #YouthLeadership #SocialImpact #RebuildUkraine #PostWarRecovery #SafeSpaces #HumanitarianImpact #GlobalGiving

Sometimes, community recovery strangely resembles software development. You write the logic. Build the structure. Test the system. And then — an error appears. That’s exactly where young people in Novohryhorivka (Shevchenkivska community, Mykolaiv region) are right now — a village that was 90% destroyed during the occupation. Teenagers aged 16–17 have rebuilt 90% of the future youth center with their own hands. They cleared debris, renovated the building, restored the walls of what used to be a library — and created a space that will become a place of safety and growth for 100+ children from several neighboring villages. But the final command still won’t run: project.restoreExterior(); ❗️ error: insufficient_funds_materials // Needed: $2,116 for insulation, basic furniture, // and a summer outdoor area The logic is there. The command is there. The solution is there. Only one element is missing — the resources to complete what the community has already nearly achieved. 👉 How do we fix the error? donate("goto.gg/67332"); project.runSuccessfully(); Your contribution is the final line of code that lets this project run in real life. By supporting this initiative, you’re investing not only in insulation or furniture. You’re investing in youth leadership, community resilience, and a real recovery process in Southern Ukraine — led by the people who live there. In the days before the holidays, we can take the final step that turns this project into a complete, working solution. 🔗 Donate here: goto.gg/67332 #UkraineRecovery #CommunityResilience #YouthLeadership #SocialImpact #RebuildUkraine #LastMileFunding #FromCodeToImpact #LocalLeadership #PostWarRecovery #GlobalGiving
