Valentyna and Yuliia used to work here before the war, and they were glad to return after the cultural centre was rebuilt.  

“The center is the heartbeat of our community. We used to organize events and celebrations, marking Independence Day, Christmas or Easter. Our local singers gathered people here, and we had folk festivals. Our community was strongly united. I am so relieved to see that everything gradually returns to normal, even though the hostilities are still ongoing,” Valentyna says.

In the village of Kukhari, the local lyceum, which was heavily damaged by an air strike during the first months of the full-scale invasion, has been fully restored. This meant that children could return to the classroom and continue their education. UNHCR supported the reconstruction by replacing windows and doors and supplying other building materials to create a safe and welcoming environment for students.

As hostilities are still ongoing UNHCR also equipped the school’s bomb shelter, making the institution fully operational and allowing 60 students to return to full-time, in-person learning.

Additionally, the restoration of the school also meant an opportunity to provide new facilities to the Kukhari village Starostat, the seat of the Head of Village. UNHCR supported the construction of office facilities within the lyceum, allowing the village council staff to relocate here. With the village’s original administrative building completely destroyed, this solution ensured that essential administrative services for the residents could resume.
