Prosthetics Care
Grant from the Government of Iceland and Embla Medical HF — “Iceland Supports Mobility in Ukraine”
In September, the foundation’s team received and processed 14 applications for the lower-limb prosthetics programme. Of these, 12 were referred to MCOP Ukraine for further review.
As of the end of September, 129 people were enrolled in the programme: 123 veterans and 6 civilians, including 4 adults and 2 children. Eleven participants had completed their prosthetic care.
Grant from Zagoriy Foundation
The grant funded replacement prosthetic care for two veterans. One received a replacement liner, while the other received a replacement prosthetic socket. Funding also covered participation in the Gait Adaptation and Optimisation Programme for both veterans.
Grant from Pfizer Foundation
Funding for prosthetic care has been approved for 49 patients, including 4 who require upper-limb prostheses. For the remaining patients, funding supports lower-limb prosthetic care, including additional costs under the “Iceland Supports Mobility in Ukraine” programme.
The Pfizer Foundation grant complements support from the Government of Iceland and Embla Medical HF, covering cases that require additional funding, as well as upper-limb prosthetic care, which falls outside the scope of the Icelandic programme.
Advocacy for the Barrier-Free Integration of Veterans
On 10 September, Future for Ukraine held a press conference at the Ukraine Crisis Media Center to present the findings of a study on the experiences of veterans with limb loss.
The event took place as part of the project “Go to the Future: Advocacy for Barrier-Free Integration of Veterans with Amputations”, supported by the Askold and Dir Fund, administered by ISAR Ednannia under the project “Strong Civil Society of Ukraine — a Driver of Reforms and Democracy”.
Together with veterans and experts, participants discussed the key conditions for a return to independent living: accessible public transport and infrastructure, adapted workplaces, professional psychological support, appropriate prosthetic maintenance, and a coordinated rehabilitation pathway.
The press conference highlighted the need for joint efforts by government, local communities, businesses, and civil society to implement solutions that support the barrier-free integration of veterans.

GIDNA
In September, the project delivered 216 individual psychological support sessions:
- 44 for women who have experienced conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV);
- 172 for women experiencing ambiguous loss.
One group therapy session was also held for four participants — three daughters and a wife awaiting news of missing loved ones. The group has been meeting monthly since July 2024.
The team received 2 group supervision sessions — one each for the CRSV and ambiguous loss programmes — and 9 individual supervision sessions focusing on ambiguous loss cases.
Support for Women Experiencing Ambiguous Loss
The project supported by DCA/NCA continues and is scheduled to run until 31 December 2026. By the end of September, 74 women had joined the project, including 4 who enrolled during the reporting month.
Screening of participants’ psychological wellbeing continues. The results indicate high levels of symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The team is strengthening efforts to help participants access psychiatric care, with 3 additional requests for support recorded in September. Additional psychological support was approved for four participants, with 8–10 additional sessions.
As part of the initiative offering complimentary beauty treatments to women experiencing ambiguous loss, one participant visited a beauty salon in Kyiv on 7 September.
Work continues on enrolling new participants, conducting an internal project audit, and using budget savings by the end of the year.
Work on the Documentary “Evidence”
On 9–10 September, advance screenings of the documentary “Evidence” took place in Kharkiv and Izium. The film examines crimes committed during the occupation of Izium, including conflict-related sexual violence.
Throughout the month, the team also prepared for screenings in The Hague and Amsterdam, scheduled for 15–16 October. This included coordinating with the embassy and relevant institutions to organise the events, a panel discussion, and a press conference.
