RIF4UA: From War to Hope: The Story of Katerina from Kharkiv in Brașov

Four years ago, millions of Ukrainians were forced to flee their country to escape the war.

Together with other organizations in the country, we have stood by children, young people, and parents during this time.

Finding your way in a new country, in a new language, in a different society, while going through the most difficult moments of your life, is not easy at all.

Katerina is one of the young Ukrainians we have supported through the project “Scaling-up Integrated Services within Resilience and Innovation Facilities for Ukrainian Refugee Inclusion,” funded by the Social Innovation+ Initiative.

Katerina participated in employability workshops organized by the Brașov County Sustainable Development Agency, our project partner.

Before the war, Katerina studied and worked in marketing; now she is a receptionist at a hotel in Brașov, a job she secured thanks to her ability to quickly learn Romanian.

Here is the story of her journey, in the video below.

When we welcome those fleeing war with open arms, we are not just offering help—we are building a more united and inclusive community together.
