PROJECT

We provide multidisciplinary, comprehensive support to refugees from Ukraine by putting specific resources at the service of specialized entities, such as psychosocial support, educational support, socio-labor integration and access to housing.

SYNERGY

With this project, Fundación United Way creates an alliance with three major social sector entities receiving refugees from Ukraine: YMCA, Fundación Convive Cepaim and Cruz Roja. United Way designs the project and coordinates the involvement of all entities involved to ensure the best use and success of the initiative.

My situation in Ukraine wasn't easy, but when we arrived here they welcomed us, gave us food and my children go to school. It's very important for me to learn Spanish, and the help they give my children with schoolwork, language courses, games… and the support they give me to find a job. I am very grateful for all the help they give me and my family.

Before arriving in Spain, I knew nothing about Spanish or the Spanish labor market. They gave me Spanish classes and also courses on how to look for a job. Now I know much more, I know several job search channels and in fact they've just offered me a job as a cleaner. I'm realistic, I know I won't be able to work as a lawyer again, but I'll settle for having an office job in the future, and when the war ends, going back to my country.

With the actions put in place, both short- and long-term effects are sought, achieved through activating the following resources:
