A short film by teenagers "What Have We Lost?" and camps for children: Voices of Children report for July-September

The Voices of Children Charitable Foundation continues to help families with children across Ukraine by providing them with humanitarian, psychological, rehabilitation and advocacy support.
As of September 2023, the organisation has
  • 162 professionals in the team, including 76 psychologists and leisure specialists;
  • 13 locations in Kyiv, Lviv, Truskavets, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kryvyi Rih, Vysoke, Kharkiv, Ternopil, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv and Mykolaiv, where our psychologists work on a regular basis;
  • More than 6.3 thousand children and parents who have received help and support from the Foundation.
In total, we spent UAH 29,045,392 on all programs over three months.
During this time, the Voices of Children team conducted 1081 individual and 225 group psychological sessions with children, as well as 893 psychosocial support sessions (art therapy, fairy tale therapy, rhythm therapy, film clubs, quests, etc.)
The foundation's team also organised two camps for families with children affected by traumatic events due to the war, under its own Camp+ programme of family recovery and self-help. A total of 33 families, including 45 children, took part in the programme.
The effectiveness of the Camp+ programme was confirmed by the Academic Council of the Ukrainian Scientific and Methodological Centre for Practical Psychology and Social Work. On 27 September, the programme was approved and recommended for publication by the Council.
In September, Olena Rozvadovska, Chairman of the Board of the Foundation, took part in the event “Fighting for the Future: Ukrainian Children in War”, organised on the sidelines of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly. The event highlighted various aspects of Russia's violations of international humanitarian, human rights and criminal law, as well as the practice of forcible transfer, deportation, adoption of Ukrainian children and imposition of Russian citizenship on them.

Caring for Those Who Care for Children: How the Foundation Helps Its Specialists Recharge Every Year
“It’s ten o’clock at night, we’re walking through Truskavets, and the streetlights are on. The lights are actually on! And there’s music playing.” That was how colleagues from Ukraine’s frontline regions, with surprise and almost disbelief, described their first impressions of the city. 
“You All Have Big Eyes Because There’s Kindness in Them”: How June Went at Voices of Children Centers
“I drew you and your whole team. You all have big eyes because there’s kindness in them,” said a girl who attends activities at the Foundation’s center in Kropyvnytskyi. This summer, our kind-eyed team heldactivities at the centers and also traveled to local communities, libraries, shelters, and underground schools. In June, children painted sea pebbles and made wishes, watched thought-provoking animated films, learned how to tame the little monsters inside them, and made friendship bracelets.
Cooking Dinner Without Electricity: How We Supported Families Remaining in Frontline Kherson
In Kherson, the day often begins with a single question, “Will there be electricity today?” The answer determines whether a child will be able to finish their homework, whether parents can heat up dinner, and whether there’s enough battery left on a phone to call loved ones. The city continues to endure daily shelling, which has, tragically, become part of everyday life. To help ease the daily challenges faced by families in the frontline Kherson region, the Kherson NGO “Journalists’ Association ‘AlternatyvA’” implemented the project “Rapid Winter Response for Ukrainian Children and Families” with the support of the Voices of Children Foundation and funding from ERIKS.
