Youth
Caritas-Spes Ukraine is concerned about the situation of drain of intellectuals, as well as the fact that young people often go after the first education to the next - to more developed countries. That is why Caritas-Spes Ukraine considers investment in youth to be one of its priorities.
Dormitories and scholarships for youth
8 dormitories owned by the Mission accomodate 187 students who pay a nominal fee. Caritas-Spes Ukraine invests in the education of youth, and provides scholarships for 130 talented young people from poor families.
