The center will become a place where families with the support of psychologists and social specialists will work on overcoming the consequences of the war. The programs will help children strengthen their psychological resilience and develop socially.

The foundation received funds for the rehabilitation center from the Bandle for Ukrane charitable initiative. In March 2022 the platform for hosting and selling indie video games Itch.io in partnership with Necrosoft Games and together with hundreds of game developers launched the Bandle for Ukraine campaign. Then they collected about 6 million dollars. The organizers gave part of the money from this package to Voices of Children ($2,798,613.24 million) and the rest to the International Medical Corps.

Every year Voices of Children organizes dozens of psychosocial and leisure camps for children with the experience of war. In summer we conduct psychological rehabilitation programs for women with children who lost their husbands at war or experienced other traumatic events. The rehabilitation center will be the place to implement these and other programs. And also a place to educate specialists who work with children.

The funds that Voices of Children received from the charitable initiative Bandle for Ukraine will be enough for partial construction. So the team plans to start fundraising and look for new donors for this project.

The process of building a rehabilitation center can take approximately 1.5-2 years.
