These people are entering new communities, where they can be favored, but still, conflicts may arise. The project that we started is aimed at “smoothing things over”, preventing conflicts, helping people to establish themselves after such a difficult decision to leave their homes, to help find a new job. We want to support the initiative of these people so that they look positively in the future,” – the President of the Charitable Foundation said.

And there are elements of how to rally society in communitiesl; there are elements of reconciliation, if there are conflicts. The project has elements that will enable people to learn, they will be accompanied if they have an idea to create their own business,” – he explained.
