The Roma community in Sumy, Ukraine, close to the Russian border, faces severe challenges due to ongoing conflict, with many families affected by violence and displacement.

Local organizations are providing humanitarian aid, educational support, and vocational training to help Roma families cope during the war.

A new educational center has been established to ensure Roma children continue their education, while also offering legal and psychological support to adults in need.
