Supporting Families

Than Circumstances

Grow Up in a Family Foundation
Since 2021, we have supported families across 12 regions of Ukraine — and we have even bigger plans ahead.
We support older caregivers raising orphaned children and children without parental care on their own.

Mission

To create a safe and supportive environment where orphaned children and children without parental care can grow up in families with dignity, stability, and care.

To prevent children from entering institutional care. We support families where older caregivers raise orphaned children on their own, so every child can remain with their family.

  • Family
  • Honesty and Openness
  • Empathy and Compassion
  • Professionalism and Integrity

Портрет Євгена Осипчука, СЕО фонду «Зростай в родині».
For us, the most important thing is to make sure orphaned children and their older caregivers are not left without support. They should not have to face their challenges alone.
Every day, we support hundreds of people who need help. Our entire team understands the responsibility we carry and is deeply committed to what we do together for caregiver families. I believe the children we support today will become a driving force for positive change in Ukraine in the future.

Our Partners

Our Team

We care. And that’s what brings us together.
Our team is made up of people who work every day to help children stay children.
We support caregiver families through difficult times because we believe every child’s dream matters, and a caregiver’s well-being is key to helping a child feel safe.

Right now, I’m proud of what we have already achieved. For me, these results are remarkable. We have a strong team that keeps adapting and growing, and every one of us truly cares about the work we do. I believe the challenges we face push both the foundation and me personally to grow to a new level. Most of all, I believe that the children we support today will grow up to contribute to society and help shape a better future for Ukraine.

Whenever I manage to help someone, I feel joy and a sense of happiness because something good has happened in another person’s life and one of their dreams has come true. It is an incredible feeling to be part of someone else’s joy. I believe that in five years the foundation will operate across every region of Ukraine and have a strong team of passionate, capable people who know how to deliver great projects for children and young people. And anyone who truly needs the support of the “Grow in Family” Foundation will be able to receive it.

The Bible says, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” And it’s true: helping others brings a sense of joy, fulfillment, and purpose. These are the moments worth living for, when you see the happy faces of those you’ve helped.

In five years, I see the foundation as a leading voice in Ukraine’s charitable sector, with a united, well-coordinated team working as one effective force. What has stayed with me most over the years is seeing children grow and watching smiles appear on the faces of grandmothers and grandfathers. No number or metric can truly capture those moments, but they are what make our work meaningful.

These are the moments when you feel part of something bigger than yourself, and they inspire you to keep doing good. When I see the smiles of grandmothers and grandfathers, I know I am exactly where I am meant to be. Even if I had never been invited to join the team, I would still have kept volunteering.

When major businesses invest in charity, it is no longer just a trend. It is part of a broader shift toward long-term social responsibility. As this culture grows, so does the foundation’s ability to create meaningful impact.
