As a result of the war in Ukraine, Acupuncturists Without Borders trained over 600 healthcare professionals and support clinics across 9 additional European countries that it did just one year before.
Across cultures, we see a consistent response among the people who receive our work. Below are testimonials given by those we serve:
"Acupuncture was an interesting experience. Firstly, the team itself - wonderful warm people. Even those who seemed a little cold and aloof turned out to be very warm. I especially liked communicating with them because it was like fresh water that enters you and renews your thoughts and body. I am confident that my four procedures definitely affected my peace of mind. They prompted me to return to my body, which is even harder than my psyche. I have definitely become calmer during this time."
"I felt an improvement in sleep after the procedure and a surge of energy. Thank you and see you again."
"I am grateful to all of you that at the meerings I can find a little support in you, chat, listen to stories, add something from myself, and slowly gather myself in a new place, in new conditions, among new people."
"Personally, I felt the effect after 2 sessions, then I had the best sleep. But was more important was the opportunity to stop and breathe in the circle of people who understand you without words, who don't need to be told everything is fine, and the absence of news from home is good news."
In 2023, almost 8 million people have left Ukraine and need support.
