Ukraine: Help Orphans Affected by War

Dear friends! We are excited to provide you with a report on how your donation helped children living in institutional care in Ukraine. 

This time, we have provided help worth UAH 133624 (USD 4567.58) to 2 institutions. 

• We supported a specialised educational institution located in Dovbysh, Zhytomyr Oblast. Seventy-seven children with physical and developmental disabilities reside and study there. We helped to equip a playroom with soft play blocks, which help develop socialising, teamwork and imagination, worth UAH 32800. Playing has a vital role in children's lives, contributing to their development. But for children in institutional care, deprivation in various forms is what they have known. For them, playing with these bright, colourful building blocks is a great - and required - experience! We also purchased for the institution maintenance and repair supplies such as paints, light bulbs, wallpaper and wallpaper glue at the cost of UAH 29647. 

• We bought flashlights, two 30-litre thermoses, and three petrol cans worth UAH 41180 for an orphanage for disabled children in Kirovohrad Oblast. In Ukraine, there are nationwide power cuts and massive issues with heating, and such items are a must-have for the institution that cares for more than 130 children. We also provided diapers worth UAH 29997 for the children residing at the orphanage. 

The lack of funds had always been an issue for Ukrainian orphanages; the situation became much worse due to the war. We support both these institutions on a regular basis as they heavily rely on charitable donations to provide proper care for the children. We are beyond thankful to you for choosing to help during this difficult time! 

Warm regards,
