More than a million people were saved during the work of the Center! Food packages are issued and assistance is provided for treatment and rehabilitation every single day. The exposition of the Humanitarian Center in Pavlohrad tells about this".

It is about a war that has many faces, but the most numerous among them are faces of the Civilians. Long suffering faces of the elderly people and children. " Donbas and Civilians" tells 11 stories about heroism shown by civilians affected by the armed conflict. It isessential to strengthen the voices of these people and to make them  heard. The photobook, published by the Rinat Akhmetov Humanitarian Center, was handed over to the representatives of international missions, embassies and the media. To ensure the war stops being a faceless death machine, and society doesnot remain indifferent to the problems of the peaceful residents of  Donbas. Indifferent to our common pain and tragedy", said Nikitina.

The exhibition materials tell about the most tragic days experienced by the civilians and volunteers of the Center, the unique role of the Humanitarian Center in the history of Ukraine. It will help the DTEK employees, their children and city residents receive reliable information about the amount of important and necessary assistance at this difficult time.

The pain of fellow countrymen, who have been living along the contact line for four years and who need assistance and support, is close to the miners of Pavlohrad. Many families from Donetsk and Lugansk regions have found shelter on the Pavlograd land with the help of the Center.
