lt/pgtltpgtltspangtWar
and displacement has exposed an estimated 3.7m adults and children to
heightened risks of violence, neglect and
exploitation. The situation is even more tenuous for the most vulnerable
children (MVC) who are displaced in institutions with disabilities (CWD)
and/or special educational needs (SEN) as critical infrastructure and social,
health and educational services have been destroyed. Similarly, displaced
families return to the areas and homes they fled to find destroyed or damaged
homes, infrastructure and limited services which undermines their ability
to rebuild lives and livelihoods and recover from the shock of war. lt/spangtltspangtlt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspangtLumos’s goal is to support 36,590 lt/spangtltspangt(17,905
girls and 18,685 boys) lt/spangtltspangtvulnerable returnees, displaced and non-displaced children
and their families affected by the conflict in Kharkivska, Sumska, and
Zhytomyrska Oblasts with critical and integrated protection, inclusive
education, and mental health assistance. Capacity strengthening of local and
regional childcare, education and social care practitioners will improve access
to critical mental health and education services underpinned by enhanced PSEA
and safeguarding. This approach will contribute to sustainably rebuilding the
wider child protection environment. Critical protection principles have been
prioritized and embedded in Lumos’s ‘Do-no-Harm’ approach with Preventing
Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) and safeguarding.lt/spangtltspangtlt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspangtLumos will undertake a localised
approach to implementation, working through and with its partner, Ukraine
Without Orphans (UWO), providing integrated support to vulnerable children and
their families, identified following needs assessments in each location, with
gender, disability and age lenses. Prioritization will be given to MVC, namely
CWD and/or SEN who have been deinstitutionalised in foster care from
low-income families in rural hard-to-reach areas or areas with a high
concentration of returnees and IDPs. lt/spangtltspangtlt/spangtlt/pgt
