Thanks to your support WONDER’s work in partnership with Pontes and GlobalGiving, our support to Ukrainian women and children refugees continues to have a big impact!
We are now working in 6 different cities and towns: Warsaw, Siedlsce, Szczecin, Katowice, Wroclaw and this year we started working in Huswlew. This increases our outreach and last year we were working with 600 women and, so far, in 2024, we are already supporting 695 women, an increase of 16%!
335 women are taking Polish and English language classes, a qualification that many use to find employment. An amazing 2,085 women, children are receiving support through our activities which is strengthening families and communities.
Our activities include:
- Formal and Informal Language Teaching
- Vocational Training and Employability Support
- Mentoring and Well-being Activities
- Psychological and Counselling Services
- Cultural and Community Integration
These and more activities result in women feeling secure, hopeful and ready to thrive in Poland!
“Pontes gives us a sense of dignity and uniqueness, even in the most challenging situations. And believe me, there are more and more people who desperately need support and help because the war in Ukraine continues. Being at Pontes gives me a sense of self confidence and awareness that together, as a team, we can create change and help.”
