About us
The ADVANCE Transcarpathian Advocacy and Development Center was established in 2000 as a result of the cooperation of Hungarian Interchurch Aid, the Swiss Protestant Aid Organization (HEKS) and private individuals in Ukraine. Our goal is to provide better conditions for disadvantaged families and children through the implementation of social, educational and humanitarian programs.
We perform our activities in the spirit of openness and adherence to humanitarian principles. Our work is carried out in accordance with the Code of Conduct developed jointly by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent Society, and accepted also by the UN.
There are two main areas of our activities:
- increasing the employment opportunities of the disadvantaged, thereby improving their living conditions,
- promoting the development of the civil sphere in Transcarpathia
Our community comprises trained professionals, enthusiastic supporters and sacrificial partners whose help allowed the Center to carry out its humanitarian and development activities successfully for more than 20 years.
