Ukraine: Help Orphans Affected by War

Dear friends, we are happy to report that this time, your donation helped orphans with severe disabilities at the Znamyanka orphanage. The institution has more than 100 residents with mental and physical disabilities. 

Thanks to your donation, we have provided help to the orphanage, with a total worth UAH 139,200 (USD 4,758). 

BKC purchased six wardrobes to store children's clothes; we also bought a ramp, which is a must to ensure accessibility for wheelchair users, but the facility didn't have one, which was a huge impediment to the lives of the orphans. 

Not having something as basic as a ramp in a facility with disabled people is a massive problem, but sadly, it is hardly surprising; it reflects the situation in Ukraine’s orphanages overall. Children in orphanages deserve to live in proper conditions. In reality, due to a severe lack of financing, orphanages depend on the mercy of kind-hearted people to ensure appropriate care for their pupils. Thank you so much for helping us ensure that children living in orphanages have the basics for adequate living conditions. 

Please consider supporting our project to help childcare institutions again. It is unfortunate but true: without charitable help, these children won't have their most essential needs covered. 

Warm regards,

Dear friends, we are happy to report how your donation benefitted Ukrainian children living in care. With your support, we have: 

• purchased tableware for an orphanage that cares for more than 100 severely disabled children, 
• helped repair the roof of the orphanage's outdoor sitting area to provide shelter from sun or rain, 
• purchased renovation materials for a specialised educational institution in Zhytomyr Oblast to help keep its premises in a good and safe condition for the pupils. 

The total help provided is UAH 85531 (USD 2923.65). 

One of our donors was motivated to support Ukrainian orphans 'to give them a fighting chance for a hopeful future'. We are certain these words resonate with many wonderful individuals who chose to support our project. In Ukraine, children in specialised institutions study and live in poor and dismal conditions; it is heartbreaking to realise how much better their lives could have been if they'd had adequate support from the state. As a charity, we do what we can, and we can't thank you enough for being there for Ukrainian children in care. 

Warm regards,
