Who are we?

The Chernivtsi Association "Zakhyst" is a non-governmental organization established in 2011 in Chernivtsi. The impetus for the creation of the organization was the unification of a group of young active and ambitious people who set out to work on improving the level of human rights protection in Ukraine (including for people with disabilities) and support for socially vulnerable groups.

Since then, many years and many changes have taken place. But the organization continues to grow and develop. We are currently working on building an inclusive democratic society. Our team is working on achieving this goal, and we invite you to meet each member below
