Kids of Ukraine, a non-profit organization, was founded in 2022 to help children and families affected by the war, and in 2024 it was officially registered as a Charitable Foundation in Ukraine.
The foundation's main activity is focused on providing psychosocial support to children through educational, creative, restorative, and recreational programs that promote emotional healing and a return to a full childhood.
Over the three years of the SviTY program, more than 1,800 teenagers have received psychological support and participated in group sessions to overcome the effects of the war
The SviTY program operates in four cities in Ukraine: Lviv, Cherkasy, Khmelnytskyi, and Zhytomyr, ensuring the availability of assistance
Individual and group work with psychologists aimed at recovery, maintaining emotional stability, and developing self-regulation skills
95 out of 100 teens report positive changes in their emotional state after attending classes at SviTY centers
Your donations support the work of four psychosocial support centers in Lviv, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, and Zhytomyr. The funds are used to provide professional psychological support to adolescents, educational programs, leadership programs for career guidance and communication skills development, as well as rehabilitation camps in the Carpathians Mountains.
Every contribution translates into specific help for Ukrainian children who have experienced the trauma of war and need professional support to return to normal life.
Thank you so much for your support and trust. With your help, we can continue our mission and give children hope for a better future.
Your contribution transforms the lives of teenagers. In the Charity Space, you can choose exactly where your support goes — psychological sessions, creative and educational programs, summer camps in the Carpathians, or other foundation initiatives. Every donation helps young people heal, regain stability, and find strength for the future.
This section will be available soon.
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.

Talk to Me, Body
Supporting mothers means supporting the whole family

I found myself, became stronger internally, and gained more understanding of friendship thanks to advice and training, so I feel more calm.

SviTY” is a place where I feel support and understanding. It’s not just about fun but also development, learning, and a space where I can be myself.

I’ve been attending the "SviTY" club for a while, and it’s one of the best places for me. There’s always a friendly atmosphere where you feel understood and accepted.

Thanks to "SviTY", I met true friends and felt confident and comfortable. Here, I can relax, grow, and feel safe.

Thanks to "SviTY," I adapted faster in Lviv, met some important people for me, and also changed my life.

In "SviTY", I found friends, maybe not many, but they are there. I learned to control my emotions, and sessions with psychologists always bring benefits.
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.
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.
caring atmosphere
Recovering childhood begins with a space of safety and trust — where every child is free to grow, learn, and be themselves.
