For more than 100 people escaped from Donbass it is now possible to dream of a future with a real home and more stability. In the community of Novoyarichiv, near Lviv, in Ukraine, Soleterre is transforming an old abandoned hostel into a community complex with 30 small apartments, each equipped with a kitchenette and able to host families of 3-4 members. There will be also common areas, including a garden and a playground, managed by the Community and by the guests themselves.
More than 100 people who fled Donbass, are now temporarily housed in the spaces of the city council of Novoyarychiv Territorial Community, near Lviv. The facilities are inadequate, as they sleep on mattresses, can't take a shower, can't cook for themselves. Winter is coming with cold weather, disease, depression. Moreover, these families cannot leave the country because many have sick relatives to take care and not even returing home in Donbass, as their place is under Russian occupation.
The Novoyarychiv Community has identified an old abandoned hostel which can be transformed into a new complex of 30 apartments for more than 100 people. Soleterre and its local partner Zaporuka Foundation will take care of the full renovation of the structure by covering all costs to create 30 independent apartments fully equipped with a small kitchen and bathrooms, full furnishings, an outdoor common space and playground for the kids.
The new complex will be managed by the Novoyarychiv Community with clear guidelines for its use. Hosts will partecipate to the daily management and Soleterre with Zaporuka will provide psycho-social support and supervision. The structure will represent a flexible solutions for internal displaced people moving towards the western region of Lviv, in Ukraine.
