Eastern Ukraine: bicycles to deliver aid and hope amidst COVID-19
Kateryna is a social worker and head of the humanitarian centre in the village of Zhovanka, Donetsk region. “I personally take care of 20 people, all of them with low mobility. They almost never leave their houses," she says.
The social worker helps with everything she can: buying and delivering groceries, medicines and hygiene products. "I cannot tell you how much easier my work has become with the bicycle. Delivering heavy packages, but even just going around and checking on people, comforting them with simple human attention… it got so much easier. I also feel very much supported and encouraged myself.”
