DAKH UKRAINIAN HUB IN ROTTERDAM

Dakh is a public organisation which works as the bridge between Ukrainian other Expats and Dutch people. We have provided many essential things and services which were needed at the beginning of the war.

Until the Dutch government was ready to help, we were finding housing for Ukrainian refugees, collecting and spreading food and clothing among of them.

 Currently we are concentrated on our main profile which is educational work and events for popularisation of Ukrainian culture in The Netherlands and helping to Ukrainians to adjust into the new cultural enviroment.

We plan a series of event across The Netherlands, formed Ukrainian pop choir and Ukrainian church choir, we have language classes for refugees and support Dutch people with information and workshops about mental difference and how to deal with it.

The big part of our work also takes the Instagram account for Ukrainian newcomers with brief explanation how everything works in The Netherlands and what to do in different life situations. 

We began our work from 26th February 2022 when a very first refugees from Ukraine knocked out our doors.

 This is purely private initiative opened and run by volunteers and not supported by any governmental organisations or sponsors. 

 Everything what has been done for the past year financed by regular people via donations.

 For a whole imagination please read our impact report.
