As part of the project to support Roma women from the families of military personnel, veterans, fallen Defenders, prisoners of war, and missing persons, we held an art therapy class called “My Tree of Strength.”

It was more than a creative session – it was a journey into your inner world.

Roots – our values, experience, family.

The trunk – internal support and stability.

Branches – connections, feelings, the way out.

Fruits and leaves – achievements, hopes, support that we share.

Each participant created her own unique tree. And it was extremely pleasant to see how these women – strong, but so gentle inside – smiled and rejoiced like children. In these moments, they could forget at least for a moment about worries about their relatives, who are now defending the country.

And most importantly – they restored themselves, their resources, their faith.

⠀ Art therapy became a space where they could:

realize their inner strength

increase self-esteem

experience emotions without words

see beauty and value in themselves.

⠀The project is implemented by ZOBF “Blago” thanks to the support of the Government of the Kingdom

of the Netherlands within the framework of the project “Women, Peace, Security: Local Needs – Local Solutions”, which

is implemented by the Ukrainian Women’s Fund.

⠀The information presented in the material does not always reflect the views of the Government

of the Kingdom of the Netherlands

⠀ Join our activities. Together – stronger!
