It's hard to believe that Senior Chudo Village has been a home for so many senior war victims for a whole year now. Today, it has blossomed into Ukraine's first-of-its-kind senior living community, offering not just shelter, but a fresh start for those who lost everything due to the war.

The construction of Senior Chudo Village is almost complete, and we are thrilled to welcome another 200 elderly individuals into our big family at Hansen Ukrainian Mission.

September has been incredibly productive. Following an unforgettable trip to Disneyland with children from Hansen Village and Hansen Apartments, our founder, Dell Loy Hansen, visited Ukraine to assess the progress of ongoing projects and reconnect with those who have become part of the Hansen Ukrainian Mission family.
