Livelihoods

 

Frontline

Standing with communities when war is at their doorstep.

Frontline provides opportunities for people to meet and support one another, as well as the practical help they need to live, not merely survive. Our current focus is Oleksandrivka, a rural town on the edge of the Donbas, where we have several initiatives. When Russian troops advanced in summer 2025, and it became a frontline community, the trust we had built meant we could stand with them in their darkest hour.

“Thank you for always being there for us”

Yevhen Nadiuk, Frontline partner

Fuel4Change

Ensuring fuel keeps compassion moving.

Without fuel, schools go unvisited. Wounded soldiers lie alone in hospitals. Families in crisis receive no help. Fuel4Change covers essential fuel costs for Volodymyr and Tetiana Avilova to serve people in vulnerable situations in Kremenchuk: wounded soldiers, bedridden individuals, older adults, refugees, struggling families, and schoolchildren whose fathers fight at the front.

“The biggest challenge is changing mindsets. Many people have a passive outlook on life. We encourage them to adopt a more proactive attitude and to support one another in leading healthier, more fulfilling lives.”

Volodymyr Avilova, Fuel4Change partner

Future4Kids

Giving war-traumatized kids a future with hope.

Young people meet, learn, and have fun. But they also process trauma and negative emotions caused by the war. Adults who work with these children receive the training they need to truly help the kids in their care.

Future4Kids supports three initiatives:

  • Jacaranda Communities of Hope – Trauma-informed care training
  • Children Mission – Equipping adults to care for traumatized kids
  • Good4U club – Safe space for kids to connect and grow

“We are grateful to Our Daily Bread for the opportunity to gain knowledge on supporting children as they process their traumatic experiences. This is so important as the war continues. We care about the future of our children and want them to live in a healthy nation.

Iryna Reviakina, director ICO Messenger of Peace

Home Front

Keeping soldiers human.

War strains soldiers and their families. Military chaplains provide vital spiritual, moral, and emotional care. Soldiers trust chaplains because they know frontline life. They talk genuinely about fears, the moral weight of killing in combat, losing comrades, struggles sleeping, and concerns for loved ones back home.

“Being present for the families of fallen soldiers helps them deal with their trauma.”

Oleg Usatiuk, partner HomeFront

Livelihoods

Restoring dignity through purpose, food, and income.

In the Oleksandrivka region (Donbas), households receive chickens and vegetable seeds. Tending gardens and caring for birds give people reasons to rise each morning, as well as food and income.

In Ivano-Frankivsk, a soup kitchen provides meals given with love and listening ears, reminding recipients that somebody still cares.

 

“The chickens give people purpose. They care for the birds and the birds care for them. It’s a beautiful thing to see.”

Yevhen Nadiuk, partner Livelihoods.
