Our Creative Hub is a place of strength and recovery

Children and parents play, learn and become stronger at our Creative Hub. As war continues to affect children’s school and everyday life we are responding to meet their needs. Through our work we see children happily engaging with activities, families who fled their homes adjusting to their new life, and children receiving aid and medical care.

Helping children in Dnipro who are separated from their parents

Care in Action is helping vulnerable children forced to flee their homes due to the fighting on the front, in partnership with the charitable organization Maxymum in Dnipro. These children are separated from their parents, far from home, and in the temporary care of a relative or volunteer. Care in Action is employing a full-time Social Worker, offering activities to children and guardians, and providing aid such as food and clothes to meet the children’s basic needs.

Children make good progress with individual support

These success stories show how children’s lives can be better with our help. We help children who don’t have the care of their parents or have very difficult life circumstances: a child growing up in an orphanage, in one of the poorest families, or a pregnant teenager placed in foster care, all have very real challenges. Sponsors, donors and volunteers help us bring positive changes and we are happy to share some examples with you.

A children’s hub in a bomb shelter

We helped to create a beautiful space for children which serves not just as a bomb shelter in a school, where classes can continue and children feel secure, but as a creative hub where children enjoy spending time. It is great to see how it has been used since start up in August 2022, as it has also enabled many cultural events for the community.

Our Ukraine Vision for 2023

At Care in Action we have a plan for the year which shifts from shelter, which was the major focus of 2022, to providing more services for children and youth that will protect their development which is interrupted by war.

Children’s activities reaching far and wide

In this time of war and school interruptions we are bringing children joy, activities and holistic development. Our trained volunteers go to children’s care homes, crisis centres and temporary shelters to offer a variety of fun and educational activities. And in rural areas we sponsor weekly dance, volleyball and kickboxing activities for children.

Winter aid for children

Care in Action is helping children in Ukraine through the winter with aid, generators, lights and warm clothes. Here is the story of one foster family who received a generator after leaving a war zone to rebuild their life. You can help with our latest project to buy warm pyjamas and thermal underwear for children who are cold at night.

Our shelter: 20,542 hostel beds and refugee stories

Since the war began we have helped people who fled their homes, giving comprehensive support in Lviv. In the first 7 months we provided these displaced people with 20,542 beds in hostels, and also provided housing to 40 women and children at a time in our "Care Center" and large family house. They tell their stories of escape, adjusting and finding security.
