Anniversary of the Full-Scale War: Supporting Children Today

Today marks four years since the start of the full-scale war.
Ukrainians have been living in the reality of war since 2014. Throughout all these years, it has been present in our children’s lives — in air raid alarms, displacement, the loss of home, and growing up too soon.

All this time, we have been standing with children.
We hold a safe and supportive space, listen, help them process what is difficult, and gradually restore a sense of safety.
Our psychological support groups are a place where a child does not have to be “strong” — where it is okay to cry, feel anger, stay silent, and learn to trust the world again.

According to official data from international and Ukrainian organizations, millions of Ukrainian children are growing up in conditions of war and constant stress.
Behind every number are real stories — small shoulders carrying a burden far too heavy for childhood.

Today, we especially want to thank everyone who makes this work possible:
our defenders — for the chance to live and to help;
volunteers — for their daily, often unseen but vital work;
our trainers and psychologists — for their resilience, professionalism, and humanity;
our partners and donors — for the trust and support that allow this help to continue.

We do not know how long the war will last.
But we know for certain: children need support now.
And we will continue doing our work for children.
