Our Programs
A Foundation project:
Family Support

This program helps guardian families meet children’s basic, educational, and emotional needs.

The foundation provides food packages, psychological support, consultations, and activities that strengthen family bonds.

Our goal is to help every guardian family feel safe, supported, and equipped to give children a happy and stable childhood.

A Foundation project:
Mentorship

Mentorship is a foundation program that connects children from guardian families with trusted adults who become reliable friends and role models.

The foundation prepares and supports mentors at every stage, from the first meeting to building a lasting relationship.

Our goal is for every child to have a trusted adult by their side, someone they can rely on and explore the world with.

Our Projects

A Foundation project:
Family Basket

A year-round Foundation project that provides food packages to families where grandparents are raising their grandchildren on their own. Each basket covers a month of essential support—food, hygiene products, and care. You can help by supporting a specific family or contributing to the general fundraiser.

Family Basket
A Foundation project:
Sunny Dreams

An annual project that gives orphaned children the opportunity to spend the summer at camps and on educational trips across Ukraine. We create a safe space where they can rest, discover new places, and feel supported by adults. Together with our donors, the project opens the door to children’s first real journeys and helps them experience the joy of childhood.

Sunny Dreams
A Foundation project:
Back to School Drive

An annual Foundation project launched in 2024 to help orphaned children and children in caregiver families prepare for the new school year. The Foundation provides essential clothing, school items, and supplies, while some families also take part in organized shopping trips. The project gives children a sense of support and care and gives them the opportunity to choose and buy their own school essentials.

Warm a Childhood

A Foundation project:
Kindness in Action

A project that supports the education and development of orphaned children cared for by the Foundation. We help children gain knowledge, develop their talents, and receive the psychological and mentoring support they need. Every contribution brings a child closer to a better future and gives them the opportunity to reach their potential.

A Foundation project:
Point of Support

When the familiar world collapses, vulnerable families are left alone in darkness and cold. For orphaned children in the care of elderly grandparents, a power outage is more than an inconvenience—it poses a threat to their safety and health. Point of Support is our emergency safety net. We quickly deliver generators, portable power stations, and other essential equipment wherever they are most urgently needed. We provide reliable support so that no child is left isolated.

Point of Support
A Foundation project:
Beauty Without Age

A project launched in spring 2025 to give grandmothers raising their orphaned grandchildren on their own a little time for themselves. Older caregivers devote their warmth and care to children every day and often have neither the time nor the financial means to focus on their own appearance and well-being.
