End Poverty Edinburgh

Hello, my name is Olena and I’m a member of End Poverty Edinburgh. I'm glad to be part of this group and feel like I can make a difference. I always feel responsible for my every proposal or thought, since our present and future depend on all of us. We are all very different, but we are united by one common goal - change. I sincerely hope that my modest contribution will play a role in achieving this.

Having arrived here from Ukraine at the beginning of the war, I had to adapt to new conditions in this country. Thanks to kind people, it was easier for me to accept these changes. But I know how difficult it is for people who find themselves in difficult situations, and my stay in our group will help achieve results. I admire our participants and feel that we are doing something very important.

I would really like that with the help of our group we would make sure that people do not experience what poverty is and do not feel the need for the most basic things that every person should have. With every step we move towards this goal.

Stay in the loop
