Who is organizing the campaign?
We are a Slovak-Ukrainian group of volunteers under the umbrella of "For the Children of Ukraine." The organizations All4Ukraine, Berkat Slovakia, and Unbreakable have joined forces, along with other individuals who care about the situation in Ukraine. During our humanitarian aid trips and through our journalistic and filmmaking work, we encounter a large number of children who are in need of help.
We can't just go back to our warm living rooms and do nothing about it. That's why we decided to help those who need it the most. To children whose lives were affected by war. We want to provide them with a safe and supportive environment that will help them cope with trauma and give them back a piece of their childhood.
Whom will we help?
We organize camps and retreats primarily for children from formerly occupied territories and those who have lost a parent in the war. These programs include activities and therapies to help them cope with challenging life situations. In Ukraine, we plan to establish a facility focused on educating children and treating traumas caused by the war.
Our goal is to alleviate the unimaginable impact of war on the most vulnerable – children. Through the camps, they can be temporarily safe, far from the frontlines, the sounds of explosions, and the constant feeling of danger. In many parts of Ukraine, children spend long hours in shelters. The war caused by Russian aggression has taken away homes, loved ones, and hope for the future from thousands of them. It has separated them from friends, preventing them from attending school normally or playing outside. We want to give them a chance for their childhood to continue, allowing them to spend time in nature, play with friends, go on trips, and receive the necessary therapy to support emotional stability and personal development.
The inscription I ❤ Cyrkuny has been shot at.
So far, we have funded seven camps for Ukrainian children in Western Ukraine and one in Slovakia. You can find more about our activities on our website:
How will the funds from this campaign be used?
We organize retreats for Ukrainian children whose lives have been affected by the war. These retreats take place in Western Ukraine or Slovakia and include psychological support provided by an international team of experts, along with various activities to promote the children's emotional and mental well-being. We help them cope with traumatic experiences and restore a sense of hope and stability for their future. Our mission is to ensure that these children’s childhoods continue.
