Gen.Hope is a safe space of trust, hope and professional support for children who have experienced the trauma of war.
The full-scale war in Ukraine has created an unprecedented challenge for childhood. The Gen.Hope unites professionals, academics and human rights activists to respond to this crisis. We integrate practice, research and policy to create an effective system of care for children.
We create conditions for healing, development and a decent childhood.
We are united by experience, trust and a common vision of change.
