Today marks the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine—a period defined by immense challenges and profound resilience. Amidst the turmoil, stories of determination and hope emerge. One such story is that of Ivan Zakharenko and his family from Molochansk, Zaporizka Oblast. In 2008, they discovered a unique garlic variety, which they named 'Lyubasha' in honor of its founder. This exceptional garlic, known for its rich, spicy flavor and remarkable properties, gained international acclaim, leading the family to cultivate a thriving 30-hectare farm. However, the onset of war in February 2022 forced them to abandon their land and become internally displaced. Despite the upheaval, Ivan's determination to rebuild remained steadfast. With support from Welthungerhilfe (WHH), Concern Worldwide and Helvetas, Ivan secured a grant that enabled him to acquire essential equipment and restart his garlic cultivation in a new location. As we reflect on three years of conflict, stories like Ivan's inspire us to continue supporting and standing in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. https://lnkd.in/d73ypaXT

🚨 As we approach the third anniversary of the war in Ukraine, it's crucial to remember the resilience and determination of those affected by conflict. 💡 Ivan Zakharenko, who transformed a chance discovery of two garlic bulbs into a thriving agricultural enterprise, embodies this spirit. Despite the devastation of war forcing his family to abandon their 30-hectare farm, Ivan's unwavering commitment led him to rebuild his garlic business from scratch in Khmelnytska Oblast. 🤝 With support from Welthungerhilfe (WHH), Concern Worldwide, and Helvetas, Ivan's story is a testament to the power of hope and the importance of supporting those rebuilding their lives amidst adversity. https://lnkd.in/d73ypaXT

Fundación Ayuda en Acción co-hosted a key dialogue with ECLAC on the future of the Global Gateway initiative and its impact on youth in Latin America at the European Parliament last week. 🌍Under the title ‘Rethinking Global Gateway: youth, employment and education for an EU-LAC partnership that generates opportunities’, the event brought together political leaders, representatives of civil society and young activists, to discuss how EU-Latin America cooperation can boost sustainable and inclusive development. 🔄 The growing impact of environmental, demographic and technological changes is transforming the economy and labour markets, particularly affecting youth employment, as pointed out in a recent report by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and Ayuda en Acción, that was presented at the event. Some highlights from the discussion: ✅It is very important to invest in young people’s empowerment and development holistically. ✅Investing in quality education, including higher education, for the youth in rural settings is paramount to achieving inclusive sustainable development. ✅ International and local civil society organisations play a vital role in connecting young people, building their skills and abilities, supporting their participation in decision making. The EU has a unique opportunity to strengthen its partnership with Latin America and build an alliance based on mutual cooperation and respect for local priorities. 🤝 https://lnkd.in/dtSPuxig
