Childhood during war is a time of stolen dreams, stolen lives, stolen happiness, stolen love, and stolen futures. Every day, we witness heartbreaking stories of war-affected children due to the Russian occupiers
We see the eyes of children who will never again feel their parents’ embrace, who have already buried friends and siblings, and for whom war is a horrific reality, not just a word from movies or news.
We cannot witness their suffering without taking action.
Our mission is to provide warmth, care, and a chance at a future. We strive to give these children education, safety, and nourishment, creating a life where love and dreams can flourish once again.
