Young Hearts Call for Our Assistance
March 4, 2024
In the past two years, we have heard 8,000 children’s war-related stories. Each of them is riddled with pain to the core. Our mission is to do everything we can to ensure that they live a life full of joy, love, and hope.
We cannot turn away from the suffering that these little heroes have gone through. Every child who has seen the horror of war with their own eyes deserves a better life.

Speech by the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the UN General Assembly
In his speech, Dmytro Kuleba read excerpts from the diary of our beneficiary, Arina Pervunina. As Arina was evacuating with her family from the occupied Kherson region, their family’s car was shot by russian soldiers. Her father sustained 17 bullet wounds and died in front of his children. After the tragedy, she wrote him letters everyday in her diary, as her way of dealing with the grief and pain of losing him.
