Ukraine: Help Orphans Affected by War

Dear friends, we are happy to share that this time, thanks to your donation, we provided help at the cost of UAH 110497 (USD 3777.04) for three specialised institutions for children with physical and developmental disabilities: 

• BKC purchased a water filter system to ensure access to clean drinking water, as well as outdoor spotlights to illuminate the outside area for the Znamyanka orphanage, an institution that is home to more than 100 disabled children, 
• We bought soft play blocks to help brighten the common area and playroom for children at the specialised educational institution located in Kmytiv, Zhytomyr Oblast, 
• We also provided building, repair and renovation supplies for the Babans'ka specialised school, an educational, socio-psychological and rehabilitation complex for children with intellectual disabilities, at their request. 

We strive to provide sustained support to all three institutions. As one of our supporters pointed out, 'I couldn't help but notice this feeling of hopelessness surrounding children in institutionalised care'. Poor living and studying conditions, the lack of proper nutrition - the list goes on. It is heartbreaking to see that children in care are treated as an afterthought due to underfinancing, which worsened as the war started. 

We have been fortunate to be able to provide support to our children living in care, thanks to your help! We are very grateful for this utmost support! 

Warm regards,
