HelpAge Ukraine Country Office, Lviv, Ukraine
Hamza Ansari (Global Partnerships Lead) had the opportunity to visit HelpAge partners in Lviv, Ukraine, on a monitoring trip in May 2024. HelpAge has supported older people in Ukraine since 2014, and scaled up its support at the onset of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. He spoke with local partners from Eastern and Western Ukraine at HelpAge Ukraine’s Country Office in Lviv, meeting with HelpAge Ukraine’s Country Director, as well as partners at the Embassy of Canada in Kyiv, to learn more about the realities of the situation on the ground in Ukraine and highlight the importance of our work for older Ukrainians.
