Coming Soon — Ukraine
International Family Assistance Center (IFAC)
Memory Way, a Ukrainian NGO, in partnership with the Asymmetric MIA Accounting Group (AMAG), is establishing our first International Family Assistance Center (IFAC) — a dedicated physical space where families of the missing can access in-person support, legal guidance, and peer community.
The IFAC will be located in Kyiv. The IFAC will serve as a model for similar centers worldwide — a place where no family has to face the search for their loved one alone.
Your support makes this possible. Help us open the doors of the IFAC and bring real, in-person assistance to families who need it most.
