5 March 2023, Bielsko-biała, Poland: Lutheran World Federation staff Cornelia Kästner (left) interviews 65-year-old Nataliia Zhuzha from Enerhodar (Zaporizjzja), Ukraine, in her home in the House of Betania in the Wapienica area of Bielsko-biała. Owned by the Cieszyn Diocese of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland, the House of Betania in the Wapienica area of Bielsko-biała has become the home of a number of refugee families from Ukraine, following the Russian invasion in February 2022. The church has renovated the buildings in order to accommodate families in a dormitory style, with private rooms for each family and a shared kitchen, dining room, playing room and hygiene facilities. The house currently hosts 7 families making up a total of some 20 people, most of them women and children. Nataliia fled Ukraine following the Russian invasion together with her two grandchildren Timor (10 years old, also pictured) and Lia (8 years old), whom she now lives with and cares for in Poland.
