Anatoliy Sass about life in Sumy

“Since there was a problem with medicines in besieged Sumy, every morning I would go on a tour of pharmacies and look for necessary medicines, and then send them to the city via my friends,” recalls Anatoliy.

Anatoliy and Daria Sass are the founders of the NGO Initiatives of Slobozhanshchyna, and have been working on inclusiveness for a long time. Since 2015, they’ve been transforming post-Soviet Sumy into a modern and accessible city and helping the blind to believe in their future. The couple meets people who are absolutely unsure of their abilities, and eventually a smile appears on a face that has been deprived of it for a long time. Indeed, disability is not a sentence.
