You feel cozy here, almost like at home,
the girl said about the Kharkiv center.

The Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and Vysokyi centers continue their mobile brigade visits to communities. All specialists receive positive feedback from beneficiaries. Children eagerly await our psychologists and leisure activity organizers and are reluctant to leave after sessions. After all, these psychological sessions and psychosocial activities help children, their parents, and educators cope with inner turmoil and stress. Additionally, our foundation's activities contribute to children's socialization, especially as many schools and kindergartens in frontline communities are operating remotely.

Animated Cartoon, Community Work and Teacher Training: March at

Our center in Vysokyi continues to operate despite shelling in the Kharkiv region. Our center remains an oasis of calm and creativity for all visitors.

We received an incredibly moving feedback from the mother of one of our visitors. The boy is an internally displaced child; he was very withdrawn because moving to a new city was extremely challenging for him. However, after working with the psychologist, everything changed for the better. His mother shared that her son has noticeably improved over the past few months, and now he has new friends — this is wonderful news for us!
said center coordinator Valentyna Subota.

In March, the Ternopil center continued its series of reflexive-therapeutic sessions at the "Voice of Tales" library. Within this event, they also hosted a "Parent Club".

Our experts were invited as speakers to the EdCamp educational conference.

We were thrilled that the majority of educators, after the presentations of all speakers and their topics, came to us. Teachers were very active during the sessions and invited us to collaborate with them in their schools,
shared coordinator Yuliia Drebeda.

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.
