Importantly, all of this took place in very difficult conditions. Some women were living under shelling, dealing with power outages or unstable internet connection. Some had sick children, some were in a state of deep exhaustion or depression, and for many, their husbands were serving at the front, keeping them in a constant state of emotional stress. That is why it was so important for us not to demand the same pace from everyone, but instead to create a space where each woman could move forward according to her strength and circumstances.

Despite all this, 29 participants completed the full cycle of the program: they carried out all therapeutic home assignments and finished the main part of the work. These women were then invited to the next stage and received an additional month of therapeutic group support. The other participants were not left without support either: they were given extended access to the materials and could continue the program at their own pace.

As part of the program, we also provided additional forms of support and encouragement for the women who were most actively engaged in the process. 11 women received individual support from a psychologist, 6 participants received conflict-coaching sessions, and 7 women received individual systemic therapy sessions. Another 6 participants received power banks — a very practical form of support in conditions of constant electricity outages — and 15 women received printed coachbooks and workbooks, where they completed exercises for emotional stabilization, self-awareness, and gradual recovery.

These forms of encouragement were not simply gifts. They helped women stay engaged in the process, maintain motivation, and feel that their efforts were seen and valued. In the conditions of war, exhaustion, and daily stress, such support can matter just as much as the learning materials themselves.

After the program ended, the participants also completed final evaluation forms. According to these results, around 70% of the women reported a significant improvement in their psychological state. Many wrote that they had become calmer, felt more inner stability, greater clarity, and more strength to move forward. For us, this is one of the most valuable outcomes, because it shows that the program became a real source of support, not simply a series of sessions.

We are sincerely grateful to the Huis Tabor community for their long-standing friendship, prayers, and concrete support for Ukrainian women. A special and heartfelt thank you goes to Martine Lambrecht, whose initiative, care, and hard work made this fundraiser possible and allowed the program to become reality.

For us, this is not simply financial support. It is a real contribution to the recovery of women who are going through some of the hardest periods of their lives. And we are deeply grateful that there are people who help turn compassion into concrete support.
