  • 24 May 2022, Rostov-on-Don, Russia: A boy rests his back against the back of a girl at the Iversky Convent in northern Rostov. Following the eruption of war in Ukraine, many refugees from the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine have taken refuge across the border in neighbouring Russia. A few dozen of them are currently offered accommodation and food at the Iversky Convent of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) in northern Rostov-on-Don. The convent has adapted housing normally offered to pilgrims visiting the convent to serve instead as accommodation for refugees from Ukraine, most of whom are women and children.

  • 9 March 2022, Nyíregyháza, Hungary: With some help from her mother, four-year-old girl Pauline shows how old she is by holding up a hand of four fingers. With the recent influx of refugees arriving in Hungary from the east following the Russian invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Nyíregyháza Kertváros is working hard to accommodate and support people arriving in the city. 23-year-old mother Paulina alongside her husband, a new-born baby and two daughters, is one of the beneficiaries, staying in a house offered as accommodation for incoming refugees by congregants from Nyíregyháza Kertváros. Being 8-months pregnant when starting the journey from Ukraine to neighboring Hungary, Paulina gave birth to her third child the same day she and her family crossed the border. Having started going into labour while still being on the way, Paulina was rushed from the border crossing to a nearby hospital in Fehérgyarmat in order to give birth. Hospital staff reportedly said it was a miracle the child and mother are both healthy and well.

The border crossing at Vyšné Nemecké sees up to some 10,000 refugees cross each day, with faith-based and humanitarian organisations providing immediate support to people as they come into Slovakia. Support onsite includes simple shelter and beds for resting, information services, coordination of onward travel into Slovakia and finding temporary accommodation there, medical and psychosocial support, food, drinks, toys for the children, hygiene items and other necessities.

  • 24 May 2022, Manychskaya, Russia: An eight-year-old refugee girl from Ukraine sits down to practice mathematics in her family's room at the Russian Orthodox Children’s Shelter in honor of Saint Paraskeva in the village of Manychskaya, in southwest Russia. The shelter currently offers accommodation to a few dozen refugees from the Donbas region of Ukraine, in addition to its regular work in housing and accompanying so-called social orphans — children whose parents are alive and known, but who are currently unable to take care of their children on their own. Following the eruption of war in Ukraine, many refugees from the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine have taken refuge across the border in neighbouring Russia. Located close to the border, the Shakhty diocese (Russian Orthodox Church, Moscow Patriarchate) receives refugees mainly from the area of Donbas, the majority of whom are women and children. Close to a million people — most of them women and children — have fled from Ukraine to Russia according to mid-May figures from the United Nations (UNHCR) following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.

  • 16 November 2018, San José de León, Mutatá, Antioquia, Colombia: Young girl Sirli Milena Giraldo. Following the 2016 peace treaty between FARC and the Colombian government, a group of ex-combatant families have purchased and now cultivate 36 hectares of land in the territory of San José de León, municipality of Mutatá in Antioquia, Colombia. A group of 27 families first purchased the lot of land in San José de León, moving in from nearby Córdoba to settle alongside the 50-or-so families of farmers already living in the area. Today, 50 ex-combatant families live in the emerging community, which hosts a small restaurant, various committees for community organization and development, and which cultivates the land through agriculture, poultry and fish farming. Though the community has come a long way, many challenges remain on the way towards peace and reconciliation. The two-year-old community, which does not yet have a name of its own, is located in the territory of San José de León in Urabá, northwest Colombia, a strategically important corridor for trade into Central America, with resulting drug trafficking and arms trade still keeping armed groups active in the area. Many ex-combatants face trauma and insecurity, and a lack of fulfilment by the Colombian government in transition of land ownership to FARC members makes the situation delicate. Through the project De la Guerra a la Paz (‘From War to Peace’), the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Colombia accompanies three communities in the Antioquia region, offering support both to ex-combatants and to the communities they now live alongside, as they reintegrate into society. Supporting a total of more than 300 families, the project seeks to alleviate the risk of re-victimization, or relapse into violent conflict.

  • 16 November 2018, San José de León, Mutatá, Antioquia, Colombia: 14-month-old Charli Stephany climbs on a fence in the community of San José de León. Born in late October 2017, the girl is just over a year old and her mother went through pregnancy at a time when the plastic that today makes the foundation of fish farming tanks, served as roofs over community members’ heads. Following the 2016 peace treaty between FARC and the Colombian government, a group of ex-combatant families have purchased and now cultivate 36 hectares of land in the territory of San José de León, municipality of Mutatá in Antioquia, Colombia. A group of 27 families first purchased the lot of land in San José de León, moving in from nearby Córdoba to settle alongside the 50-or-so families of farmers already living in the area.

Though the community has come a long way, many challenges remain on the way towards peace and reconciliation. The two-year-old community, which does not yet have a name of its own, is located in the territory of San José de León in Urabá, northwest Colombia, a strategically important corridor for trade into Central America, with resulting drug trafficking and arms trade still keeping armed groups active in the area. Many ex-combatants face trauma and insecurity, and a lack of fulfilment by the Colombian government in transition of land ownership to FARC members makes the situation delicate. Through the project De la Guerra a la Paz (‘From War to Peace’), the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Colombia accompanies three communities in the Antioquia region, offering support both to ex-combatants and to the communities they now live alongside, as they reintegrate into society. Supporting a total of more than 300 families, the p
