The Ukrainian Red Cross continues its activities to support Ukrainian children and their families.
One of the major projects, accomplished by the Ukrainian Red Cross, that impacts the well-being of kids, is the Unbreakable Mothers - a mother and child center for the internally displaced people in Lviv, west of Ukraine. It provides temporary housing for pregnant women and those who have recently become moms.
The modular town consists of two buildings with the total area of 1,300 m2. Each has two stories and can host up to 100 pregnant women or mothers with kids.
The houses feature all necessary conditions for comfortable accomodation of children and their moms: separate bedrooms, laundry rooms, playgrounds, and a kitchen and a dining room. Janitors and a municipal guard on the premises make sure the residents' stay is comfortable and safe.
Besides, the Ukrainian Red Cross continues its psychosocial support for internally displaced kids and those who have had traumatizing experiences. The activities include classes with elements of creativity that help children relax, get rid of emotional tension, feel safe and develop stress resilience.
