The modular town in Brovary marks its second anniversary, showcasing a commitment to supporting and caring for internally displaced persons (IDPs).

The modular settlement for internally displaced persons in Brovary has celebrated its two-year anniversary since opening. The mayor of Brovary, Ihor Sapozhko, shared insights with journalists about the lives of those who lost their homes due to Russia's war against Ukraine, as reported by UNN.

The settlement, which has been operational for two years, has become not only a temporary refuge for individuals but also a place where they can adapt to new circumstances, find employment, and gradually return to normal life.

Currently, according to Ihor Sapozhko, over 150 people reside in the settlement. "Unfortunately, people have been forced to relocate, but we are doing everything possible to ensure that this settlement continues to serve its purpose," the mayor noted.

He added that the modular settlement provides an opportunity for those who have lost their homes to find shelter for a while. Ihor Sapozhko also mentioned that volunteers assist in meeting the needs of internally displaced persons by bringing food and essential items.

Support for All: From Children to the Elderly

Special attention is given to children in the modular settlement, as their adaptation to new living conditions is extremely important. Special events are organized for them to help with socialization and maintain a positive outlook.

Children from the modular settlement attend schools and kindergartens in Brovary. According to Ihor Sapozhko, a bus provided by a charitable foundation is dedicated to the settlement.

"For instance, on December 7, we plan to organize a trip to a fairy tale performance at the MKC 'Prometheus.' There will be a fairy tale and gifts for the children. We want them to feel that life goes on and that they are part of our community," said the mayor of Brovary.

The elderly also receive due attention. The mayor emphasized that the residents of the modular settlement are not separated from other community members: all issues they raise are addressed equally.

Social Adaptation and New Beginnings

The modular settlement has become a starting point for many towards a new life. Residents have the opportunity to adapt, find work, and save money for future relocation.

"The settlement has provided many the chance to stay for a month or two, save money, and find rented accommodation. We always advise them to take advantage of these opportunities: here, only utility bills are paid, and volunteers provide assistance with food and necessary items," explained Sapozhko.

In the past two years, three newborns have arrived in the modular settlement. This symbolizes that even in challenging conditions, life continues, and people find the strength to build a future.

According to the mayor, residents of the settlement express gratitude for the conditions created and the support received. Over 100 individuals who previously lived in the modular settlement have already moved into homes, including houses in the Kyiv region.

"We are doing everything possible to ensure that people feel at home. We are all Ukrainians and must unite our efforts to support one another," emphasized Ihor Sapozhko.

Community Events and Uniting the Community

Participation in city events helps residents feel like part of the community. They take part in festive activities, cultural initiatives, and other events. "We strive for everyone, regardless of where they live, to feel like part of our community. This is about solidarity and support, which are the foundation of our nation," noted Sapozhko.

The modular settlement in Brovary continues to function as intended, providing refuge for those in need. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of authorities, charitable organizations, and volunteers, this place has become a symbol of care, support, and faith in a better future.
