Natalia came within a hair’s breadth of death in Mariupol – a shell hit her building, killing all the neighbors. She survived together with her mother and her son. But alongside the physical blow, she also suffered a psychological one. The hardest part was for her son – the child still has not recovered from what he lived through.

Now Natalia has been given a room in a dormitory built to the highest standards. This social housing project became possible thanks to the support of the International Organization for Migration and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Rinat Akhmetov Foundation also joined the initiative, equipping shared-use spaces and children’s play areas. The handing over of keys to the social apartments was documented by the Museum of Civilian Voices.
