“Side by Side with the Veteran. Side by Side with Each Other”
Rebuilding Ukraine is not just about cities, buildings, and new walls. First and foremost, it is about restoring human capital, healing emotional wounds, and bringing back trust.
Recently, as part of the 4th anniversary of the NGO “Dobrobat,” a significant event took place — the presentation of the “PORUCH” (Side by Side) women’s community. This is a community for those who hold the invisible front of Ukrainian families — the wives and partners of military service members and veterans.
The “Plich-o-Plich” (Shoulder to Shoulder) research conducted by our team revealed a harsh truth: today, many wives live in a state of constantly being the pillar of support for everyone else, putting themselves on the back burner. They become psychologists, nurses, lawyers, and crisis managers for their families, often left entirely alone with their exhaustion.
We want to change this.
That is why the “PORUCH” team has created a universal support program for women — “BZTForWives” (Basic Life and Resilience Training for Wives), to help women reclaim the right to their own lives, inner resources, and selves.
- Balance – taking care of physical and emotional well-being.
- Connection – a circle of women who understand each other without any need for explanation.
- Recovery – learning, navigating crisis states, and building new pillars of support.
- Support – practical help with daily challenges.
We warmly invite wives and partners! You are not alone. We are building a space where you can be yourself, receive support, and regain your strength among those who understand everything without words.
