Our programs

The Kids of Ukraine Charitable Foundation implements three interrelated programs that create a comprehensive support system for teenagers and their families during this difficult time of war. The SviTY program provides psychological recovery and development for teenagers in our centers in four cities, summer camps in the Carpathians offer therapeutic recovery amid mountain nature, and the Talk to Me, Body initiative supports mothers through art therapy and psychological assistance. Each program complements the others, creating a solid foundation for the full recovery and development of the entire family.

Feedback from program participants

The best way to value our work is via feedback from our teenagers who participate in the SviTY program. They share their impressions of the changes in their lives, their new friends, and how they have learned to manage their emotions. Each review is a story of transformation, recovery, and new hope.

The words of these children are the most valuable assessment of our work.

Our partners

The effectiveness of our programs is made possible thanks to the support of reliable partners who share our mission to help children.

Organizations, companies, and institutions that collaborate with Kids of Ukraine help expand our reach and provide quality support to thousands of teenagers throughout Ukraine.

Together, we are building a future where every child has the right to a happy childhood.
