INTRODUCTION

Thousands of refugees come from hotspots. From February, 24 till to May, 7,700,000 were forced to become IDPs in Ukraine due to Russian aggression. As of May, according to a report by the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, there are more than 55,000 people displaced from the hotspots of the military conflict in Vinnytsia Oblast, of whom 17,600 live directly in Vinnytsia.

On February 28, 2022, representatives of the NGO “Podolian Agency for Regional Development” appealed to the director of CPTO №1 who has already organized a reception for migrants. We saw that food and bed are important on the first day, but in 2 days there is a need to wash clothes, calm and protected from others, talk to relatives, psychological help and hundreds of other needs. With the help of initiative groups and charitable organizations, the gradual development of aid elements was organized. The desire to help systematically - prompted to develop a system of steps to build a quality and friendly life. Decent life.

The system of decent living involves the development of solutions in such areas as:

- creation of conditions for employment of internally displaced persons;

- provision of life;

- integration of shelters into the general shelter management system, which will eliminate duplication of functions and reduce the burden on shelter employees.

We will win this war not when the military reaches the state border of Ukraine, but when the people who chose Ukraine in need - felt good, proper life and began to shape the future. The future of Ukraine.

 THE SYSTEM APPROACH

The fragmented system of assistance and the polysystemic situation solve the humanitarian problem only in the first steps, but in fact it needs maximum conservation of the state of temporality and the feeling of humiliating status of "IDPs".

Transition from a system of simple assistance to a system of decent living. We are trying to build this model and need help in it.
