Project Report Published: Supporting the Rehabilitation in Ukraine
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Peace Boat Disaster Relief (PBV) has been actively engaged in supporting the people of Ukraine through various initiatives in Japan and neighboring countries. In April 2024, PBV collaborated with UNBROKEN National Rehabilitation Center in Lviv on a project aimed at advancing physical rehabilitation support for injured Ukrainians.
In April 2025, Dr. Liubov Koloshynska from UNBROKEN visited Japan to take part in a training that included visits to rehabilitation facilities in Hiroshima and Fukuyama and knowledge exchange with Japanese medical professionals. This visit helped strengthen cross-border collaboration in the field of rehabilitation medicine and brought valuable insights back to Ukraine.
As part of the project, PBV also provided support to UNBROKEN by delivering two Re-Gait devices—innovative rehabilitation tools developed in Japan—to the UNBROKEN Center in Lviv. We are pleased to share the report summarizing the project’s implementation, details on Dr. Koloshinska’s visit and project key outcomes. The report is now available on our website in English, you can find the link here.
This supporting project would not have been possible without the kind support of our donors and partners. We are deeply grateful to everyone who stood with us in solidarity and helped deliver meaningful assistance to those in need. We will continue our communication with UNBROKEN for monitoring and follow-up of the patients undergoing rehabilitation with Re-Gait.
This initiative is part of PBV’s ongoing support for Ukraine, which began in March 2022. Over the past three years, PBV has conducted field visits to Romania and Ukraine, distributed medical supplies to 21 hospitals in Ukraine, supported cancer patients in partnership with Youth Cancer Europe, and cooperated with NGOs like PATRIR, World Central Kitchen, and the Romanian National Council for Refugees to assist displaced persons with legal, medical, educational, and psychosocial support.
Your continued support empowers us to carry out cross-border humanitarian initiatives that foster resilience, hope, and collaboration.
