sian-Ukrainian conflict, thousands of displaced
people from different regions of
Ukraine—Mariupol, Zaporizhia, Kharkiv,
Donetsk, Slavutych, and Odesa—se�led in
Armenia.

The families who moved to RA had many prob-

lems with health, psychology, food, and shel-
ter. Based on this reality, the Syunik-Develop-
ment NGO quickly responded to the situa�on
by crea�ng condi�ons for livelihood, various
social supports, and integra�on to society for
the displaced people from Ukraine who
moved to the Vayots Dzor Region.
The Ukrainian 41 families who moved to the
Vayots Dzor Region were provided with hous-
ing, food, clothes, medicine, and hygiene
items by the Syunik-Development NGO. The
NGO was provided with financial support by
its long-�me partner the organiza�on German
Bread for the World, to provide support to
displaced people.

As support, the Syunik-Development NGO also

regularly organized excursions for the
displaced people to the sights and museums
of the Vayots Dzor Region.
Preschool children, who moved from Ukraine
were involved in child development centers
and kindergartens in the Vayots Dzor region.
