Empowering Women. Strengthening Communities.

The Union of Ukrainian Women in Greece (UUWG) is a women-led, community-based organization in Athens supporting Ukrainian and other women, affected by war and migration.

Our mission

We are a non-profit dedicated to preserving Ukrainian culture and supporting Ukrainians in need — in Greece and Ukraine — with a focus on empowering women. We provide humanitarian aid to refugees, orphans, and vulnerable individuals, while building bridges between the Greek and Ukrainian communities through solidarity and cultural exchange.

We help Ukrainians integrate into Greek society by offering legal, social, and humanitarian guidance, and through cultural and educational initiatives in partnership with international organizations, we raise awareness about Ukraine and promote democratic values.

What we do

Humanitarian Aid

We provide essential humanitarian assistance to Ukrainian families in Greece and to communities in Ukraine. Through our Humanitarian Aid Center, we collect, organize, and distribute food, clothing, hygiene products, medical supplies, and emergency items. Our aid efforts are needs-based, coordinated with partners, and carried out with transparency and care.

Housing & Basic Support

We support families in finding safe housing and navigating the relocation and integration process. This includes guidance, referrals, and coordination with local services to ensure stability during critical transition periods.

Education & Development

Education is key to empowerment.

We organize:

  • Greek and English language courses
  • Digital and creative skills workshops
  • Professional development and employability training

These programs help women build independence and access new opportunities.

Psychological & Social Support

Displacement and war leave a deep emotional impact. We offer individual and group psychological support, peer support circles, and well-being workshops in safe and trusted environments.

Culture & Community

Cultural activities strengthen identity, connection, and healing. Through art workshops, community events, and cultural projects, we create spaces where women and children can express themselves and build belonging.
