Since 2021, 12,548 people in Ukraine have sustained a spinal cord injury — over 3,400 every year (NHSU e-Health data). Many of them face not only physical, but also social barriers - lack of access, work, support. GAR works to ensure that these people are not left alone.
Together with partners, we create systemic solutions: training, rehabilitation, an accessible environment and new opportunities for life.
All people supported. As of 6 October 2026.
