The program of our Foundation provides for the protection of the rights of refugee children and those who have temporary protection abroad.

We understand that this is an important issue that needs to be addressed immediately.

Our program consists of the following components:

  • legal support: we are going to direct the funds of the Fund to provide free legal assistance to refugee children and those who have temporary protection. We will cooperate with leading legal companies to provide high-quality and effective assistance;
  • creating educational programs: we are going to develop educational programs for refugee children and those with temporary protection. These programs will aim to educate children about their rights, safety and the help they can get;
  • psychological support: we are going to recruit qualified psychologists to provide free psychological support to refugee children and those with temporary protection. This can help children cope with the stress they may experience when moving to another country or being in a temporary shelter;
  • dissemination of information: we are going to recruit volunteers who will disseminate information about the rights of refugee children and those with temporary protection to the general public. We believe that dissemination of information can provide greater support and protection of the rights of refugee children and those with temporary protection.

Priority plans of the Fund:

  • the creation of kindergartens, classrooms and cultural centers in one building will allow children to receive a full-fledged education, develop and be brought up in conditions that are closest to home. In addition, this approach will greatly facilitate the life of parents who will not be able to get to various classes and activities with their children;
  • applying for a legal definition of the status of children from Ukraine as children of war will provide additional protection and support for this category of children from the government and the public;
  • appeal to the EU governments regarding the collegial decision and support of charitable projects through budgetary funding will ensure the financing of this project and its full implementation;
  • charitable projects aimed at helping refugee children are of great importance to society and are an important step in the fight against social injustice and inequality. The creation of kindergartens, classrooms and cultural centers in one building in every settlement in the EU countries is a step in the right direction to create favorable conditions for the development of children and ensure their safety and protection.
