On May 24th, a charity football match supported by the Ombudsman's Office and the International Committee of the Red Cross in Ukraine will be held in Kyiv. Donations from the tournament will go to the "Voices of Children" Charitable Foundation (CF), which works on the rehabilitation of children affected by the war.

The Ombudsman's Office is organizing a charity match like this for the second time, demonstrating a successful initiative that unites people and various organizations around charity, support, and protection of children. The sports nature of the event also promotes engagement in active leisure,
commented Mariia Svyrydenko-Novak, partnership manager at "Voices of Children".

Two teams consisting solely of current employees from the organization or institution will participate in the event. However, not only they but also guests and fans can make donations.

Charitable contributions can be made via the link or at a donation box located at the tournament site.

By the way, alone in 2023, the "Voices of Children" CF provided humanitarian, psychological, and rehabilitation assistance to 41,000 children and parents.
