With the participation of the Crisis and Support Centre of the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, Acted is promoting recovery and access to safe, functional essential services in Ukraine through the rehabilitation of educational, health and social institutions in the North of Ukraine.
With its RestoreUA project, Acted is rehabilitating 13 war-affected institutions, including 10 schools, a health facility, and 2 social care centres for ex-combatants. The objective is to improve safe, functional and sustained access to essential services to conflict-affected populations in the front-line regions of Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv Oblasts.
The conflict in Ukraine is causing extensive damage to essential infrastructure. Due to its front-line and border location, Sumy, Kharkiv and Chernihiv Oblasts remain particularly vulnerable to daily shelling and frequent air and missile strikes. This is preventing conflict-affected populations living in stabilising areas of these Oblasts to achieve longer-term recovery prospects. RestoreUA aims to ensure the resumption and continued provision of essential services, including access to health and social care services, and access to safe education, through the rehabilitation of bomb shelters for schools that would support the safe return of offline classes for students. A total of 13,011 individuals will be indirectly targeted by the project, including students, ex-combatants and their families, patients in supported health facilities, and staff such as teachers, medical personnel, and social workers.
Since the project’s launch in September 2025, Acted has been able to successfully complete the rehabilitation of a social care centre in Chernihiv, with the rehabilitations in educational facilities and in the health facility that will be completed in the coming months.
RestoreUA complements Acted’s past project RestoreEdu, completed between 2024 and 2025 which was also implemented with the participation of the Crisis and Support Centre of the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France. RestoreEdu provided reconstruction, repairs and equipment support to 65 schools in Chernihiv and Kharkiv oblasts.
