Many of the refugees from Ukraine are school-age children and young people, who in many cases have missed months of education.
Their integration and the breaking down of language barriers have been carried out mainly by volunteers, with the help of NGOs.

The Hungarian Maltese Charity Service continues its activities to help refugees with its programmes to support the integration of Ukrainian families staying in Hungary, with aid consignments sent to Ukraine and with its volunteer service, which partially replaces the missing workforce in Transcarpathia. After one year, the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service continues to maintain a continuous 24-hour on-call service at the Beregsurány border crossing.
