HelpAge Ukraine Spotlight (July 2025)

A monthly digest from HelpAge International in Ukraine.

Published

In this issue, we shine a spotlight on how older people are navigating ongoing conflict and displacement in Ukraine, while reclaiming dignity, connection and purpose. Key highlights include:

  • Personal stories of older people who have rebuilt their social networks and found new meaning through the support of age-inclusive humanitarian services.

  • How our programmes are pivoting from immediate relief to sustainable resilience: peer-support groups, community safe spaces, and older-person-led initiatives.

  • An emphasis on the dual role of older people — as recipients of care and as agents of change, leading and shaping their recovery.

  • The importance of integrating older people’s needs into broader humanitarian and recovery efforts so that no-one is left behind as crises evolve.
