Children, purpose, pets. What keeps people displaced by war moving forward

War takes away more than homes and possessions. It uproots lives — family traditions, years of work, familiar faces and plans for the future. ‘Every day I wake up waiting for the news that we can finally go home,’ says Liliia, 65, from Kramatorsk. Nadiia, a young mother from Kryvyi Rih, is living with the same uncertainty. Natalia from Donetsk has lost her home twice, yet found the strength to keep moving forward. Their stories are about rebuilding life and finding hope.

Airstrikes keep them awake, yet they help others. On World Humanitarian Day, we celebrate their work

Humanitarian workers help people overcome the most excruciating life moments, while risking their own lives. In 2003, 22 humanitarian workers were killed in a bombing attack in Baghdad. Every year on 19 August, we commemorate their memory, as well as the work of hundreds of thousands of other humanitarian workers around the world. This year, we prepared short testimonies for you, written by our employees from the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Zambia. Their work supports those who often perceive humanitarian help as their only source of hope.
