History

We started as a small initiative of volunteer lawyers; today we support hundreds of families across the country. Here are the key milestones of that path.

  1. 2019

    The first legal clinic

    A few lawyers began giving free consultations in Lviv — at first once a week, in a local library.

  2. 2020

    The organization is registered

    The initiative became an NGO. The first staff team of five people appeared, along with the legal-awareness strand.

  3. 2022

    Work during the full-scale invasion

    We refocused our work on helping those affected by the war:

    • support for families of missing persons;
    • documenting war crimes;
    • a humanitarian hub in Lviv.
  4. 2023

    A network of regional clinics

    We opened legal clinics in three more regions and began training lawyers to record war crimes to international standards.

  5. 2024

    More than 500 families supported

    The team grew to 24 people. We launched a legal-awareness strand for communities and started publishing annual reports.

    What comes next

    We are expanding the clinic network, strengthening documentation and preparing materials for international bodies.
