Down Syndrome, o. z.
Our civic association is based on our team, which is trying to create a strong community around families with Down Syndrome. After the Russian attack towards Ukraine a migration wave started. Hundreds of Ukrainian families, mainly mothers with children, are coming to Slovakia. War affects also people with disabilities. Our organization is, therefore, ready to help families and people with Down Syndrome coming from Ukraine.
