In the heart of Uzhhorod, the Transform Uzhhorod Alliance (TUA), bolstered by the commitment of individuals like Nadia (Hope), works tirelessly to provide an inclusive space for individuals with special needs. Their initiative, in collaboration with the Greek Catholic Church and Caritas Foundation, extends beyond just care; it’s about enrichment and empowerment through various clubs including dance, music, reading, and art. One Collective has played a supportive role in these endeavors, not only by contributing dedicated staff but also by equipping the initiative with the means to establish small businesses like candle and jewelry making.
Facing the daunting prospect that one day they might lose their caregivers and be relegated to institutional life, cut off from their community, these special individuals now 
have a beacon of hope. Nadia’s vision of a group home is coming to fruition with support from One Collective and Transmission Partnerships, also members of the TUA.
This home is taking shape above the current center, with a second floor nearly ready to open its doors. As funds are gathered to build a connecting staircase, the focus is not just on tomorrow but on today. These rooms, once accessible, will offer temporary refuge for families displaced by the war. This initiative exemplifies the Alliance’s commitment to holistic transformation, weaving together the strengths of a community to lift each other in times of peace and crisis alike.
