Project title: Safety shelter in Rudki community

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Since the beginning of the Russian full-scale military invasion into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, a large-scale migration of residents began to ensure their own security. The main flow of migration fell on the western part of Ukraine, especially on the Lviv region. This is due to the proximity of the border with Poland, and the low intensity of hostilities. Some of the newcomers use the Lviv region as a transit for moving to the countries of the European Union, and some residents remain to wait out the acute period in the communities of the Lviv region. One of these communities is the Rudkivska territorial community, which has already accepted over 1,200 IDPs (Internally displaced people), which amounted to 1% of the entire population of the community, and in some settlements it was 20%. This has led to a significant burden on the infrastructure and residents and the need to find an effective solution for integrating IDPs into community life. The purpose of this project is to establish the process of accommodation of IDPs on the territory of the Rudki community and create safe conditions for their adaptation to new reality. The main objectives of the project: the creation of a center for temporary placement of IDPs on the basis of the municipal institution “House of Mercy”; development and implementing of a actions’ program on involve migrants to the life of the community and their harmonious integration; “Fair of temporary job” will be organized and held for residents and IDPs.
