"I'Mariupol" is an example of cooperation and mutual assistance

Our strength is in supporting each other. Since the first days of the full-scale invasion, the network of "I'Mariupol" centres has become a place of hope and help for thousands of Mariupol residents. With the support of the host communities, the centres have been set up and are operating in 21 cities across Ukraine. 

As a token of gratitude and cooperation, the Mariupol City Council, in partnership with the Swedish foundation "Blagula Bilen" and with the assistance of the "I am Mariupol" Charitable Foundation, made an important transfer of necessary assistance for the disabled residents of the Smolinsk community through the "I'Mariupol" centre in Kropyvnytskyi.

These included rollators, wheelchairs and crutches. The same equipment was also delivered to Kropyvnytskyi city dormitories No. 1 and No. 2, where IDPs from Donetsk region have taken refuge. For many of them, these items are a vital help in their daily movement.

"We will always remember how heartily we were welcomed in our new communities. We are grateful to our partners for the opportunity to implement such important initiatives and continue to support the communities that have become a second home for Mariupol residents. Let's support each other. Together we will overcome everything!" – Oleksiy Chuyko, head of the "I'Mariupol. Kropyvnytskyi" centre.
