Even one year of regular tutoring can change a young person’s path, by helping them to pass exams and gain a place in higher education. The children we help have had challenges, like joining a foster family or becoming displaced. But that doesn’t limit their potential!

When war forced Natalia and her three children to flee their home, they faced fear and uncertainty alone. At our Creative Hub in Lviv, they discovered safety, encouragement, and the strength to begin again. Read how your support has helped this family rebuild their lives with hope.

The Together Program has launched three new projects since May 2025: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Drama Lessons and "The World of Professions". The program reaches children in care and in difficult circumstances. In wartime Ukraine 44% of children are having difficulty concentrating, easily getting upset or feeling lonely. Our activities are not just educational or therapeutic — they are a space where children feel care and build resilience.

We are helping children who are displaced and separated from their parents in Dnipro, a region severely affected by war. In 2024, 47 children who experienced loss - some had to evacuate under fire - received vital support that goes beyond basic needs to include emotional, educational, legal and psychological aid. Thanks to our donors, children can have security and dreams for their future.

In difficult times, children need support they can rely on. Our Individual Child Support program helps each child, regardless of their background, to unlock their potential through mentorship, tutoring, and sponsorship. Thanks to our team and donors, we see children thrive as they build trusting relationships, improve their education and start to succeed in life. The program continues to grow across Ukraine.

Today, we say goodbye to our dear colleague and friend, Hennadiy Melnuchyk. As he is laid to rest, we remember a man who was once an orphaned child, who became a father and a source of inspiration and strength at Care in Action. As a defender of his country Hennadiy still sent videos from the trenches to say “Every child must have a family. I know that. I want this for my country.”

Every month 400 children are using four creative spaces that Care in Action helped to equip in 2024. We transformed large, unused rooms in community-owned buildings into vibrant hubs for after-school activities, where children are engaging in activities that enhance their wellbeing and education.

At our Creative Hub over 200 children come for creative activities, mothers find a support network, and our Social Worker helps families find stability. As the war and the needs change, we adapt and respond, bringing happiness and hope for the future.

In December, our efforts brought smiles, warmth, and learning opportunities to over 700 children, as well as vital support to 20 foster care families preparing for winter power challenges.
