Our Programs

Family Support

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

The Foundation provides food packages, psychological support, and consultations while organizing activities that strengthen family relationships.

Goal — to ensure every guardian family feels safe and supported and has the resources children need to thrive.

Mentorship

Through this program, adults become trusted friends to children growing up in guardian families.

The Foundation trains and supports mentors at every stage—from the first meeting to building a lasting relationship.

Goal — to ensure every child has a trusted adult friend 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.

Kindness in Action

A project supporting the education and development of more than 500 orphaned children supported by the Foundation. We help children learn, develop their talents, and receive the psychological and mentoring support they need. Every contribution brings a child closer to a brighter future and gives them a chance to fulfill their potential.

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.

A Foundation project:

Future Champions Fund

A project supporting orphaned children who are passionate about sports but cannot afford training or equipment. We help them develop their talents, attend sports clubs, compete, and believe in themselves. Every contribution gives a child the chance to continue their athletic journey and move closer to their dream.

A Foundation project:

Back to School Drive

An annual Foundation project, launched in 2024, that helps orphaned children and children under guardianship prepare for the new school year. The Foundation provides essential clothing and school supplies and, for some families, organizes joint shopping trips. The project gives children a sense of support and care and inspires them to embrace new learning opportunities.

Warm a Childhood

An annual Foundation project, launched in 2024, that helps orphaned children stay warm through the winter by providing high-quality winter clothing and footwear. Children choose the items they need themselves at partner stores, giving them a sense of dignity and care. Every contribution brings a child closer to a safe, warm, and comfortable winter.

A Foundation project:

Beauty Without Age

Created in spring 2025, this project gives grandmothers who are raising orphaned grandchildren on their own a little time for themselves. These older caregivers devote their warmth and care to the children every day and often lack both the time and financial means to look after their own appearance.

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.
