About Gen.Hope

Mission

Vision

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.

Our mission is to set standards, train professionals, promote best practices and strengthen systems of psychosocial support and sustainable peacebuilding.

Gen.Hope is a gateway centre of knowledge and experience, delivering evidence-based solutions that bridge the gap in support systems for children affected by war. In Ukraine and beyond, we replace the trauma of conflict with care, expertise, and hope.

We are united by experience, trust and a common vision of change.
