ADRA Ukraine presents the ADRA Kids project in Kyiv: a holiday for children affected by the war
On September 28, a presentation of the new ADRA Ukraine «ADRA Kids project will take place in the city of Kyiv, on the territory of the Cossack village named “Mamaeva Sloboda”. The initiative is aimed at supporting children of veterans*, fallen soldiers and families affected by the war.

Why

– veterans’ children*;

– children of missing persons and prisoners;
– internally displaced persons whose families were forced to leave their homes;
– children who survived hostilities or traumatic events of war;
– children who were injured.
Children who meet the terms of the project can join the event through open registration.
What we plan
The mission of ADRA Kids — is to provide comprehensive support to children affected by the war: from basic material needs to psychological and emotional rehabilitation.
The project team is working to create a support community where no child is left alone with their fears and traumas.
In addition to gifts, the project provides for: rehabilitation in sanatoriums and camps; professional psychological support (online and in ADRA Ukraine protection centers); the opportunity to work in extracurricular clubs and sections.
The overall goal of the initiative is to help 100,000 children in Ukraine regain psychological balance, socialize and experience the joy of childhood again.
