For nearly four years now, Ukrainian families have been raising their children under rockets and bombardments. In Zaporizhzhia, Fida supports families living in the midst of crisis so that they can hold on to hope.
According to Pastor Juri Kulakevich, who is responsible for international relations in the Ukrainian Pentecostal Church, what is happening in Ukraine is not merely a prolonged war, but deliberate terror directed at the civilian population.
The organisational change negotiations at Fida, a Finnish missions and development cooperation organisation, have concluded. As a result of the negotiations, 14 positions will be discontinued. Thanks to other cost-saving measures, the scale of staff reductions was significantly smaller than anticipated.
The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland has granted Fida 20.8 million euros for development cooperation and 3.5 million euros for humanitarian assistance for the years 2026–2029.
