December 1 is World AIDS Day. According to the World Health Organization, by the end of 2024 approximately 40.8 million people worldwide were living with HIV, and 1.3 million people were newly infected over the past year.

In July, we opened enrollment for the trainer program within the “Recovery. Sexual Life” sexual rehabilitation course.

As part of the project “Recovery. Sexual Life,” the Olena Pinchuk Foundation and the International Institute of Postgraduate Education have signed a memorandum of cooperation. The goal of this partnership is to support and develop a professional community in the field of sexual rehabilitation and to promote state certification of specialists trained under the educational program “RECOVERY. Sexual Life.” This memorandum marks an important step toward systemic change in the preparation of sexual rehabilitation professionals in Ukraine.

After nearly three years of operating in an online format, the mental health support project REGENERATION is now available offline. Thanks to the partnership between the Olena Pinchuk Foundation and the Ministry of Social Policy, Ukrainian women can now join free support groups at Resilience Centers – safe, caring spaces established as part of the national mental health program "How Are You?" initiated by First Lady Olena Zelenska. The first in-person groups have already started operating in Bucha, Vinnytsia, and Kropyvnytskyi.
