For many years, there’s been someone who regularly comes to our Center — a person without whom it’s hard to imagine our daily life. Oleksandr. Sasha. Simply — our friend. His visits are always special days. Days filled with more warmth, smiles, and calmness. When children don’t just listen — they watch with admiration, remember, and trust. Because Sasha comes not out of duty, but sincerely, with an open heart. He gives children the most precious things — his time, attention, and knowledge. Together with friends from the “Good Samaritans” organization, Sasha conducts sessions that ...

May 16 became a day our children will remember for a long time. Thanks to our cooperation with the Obolon District Organization of the Red Cross Society of Ukraine in Kyiv, our residents visited the unique entertainment center “First Legion” — a place where even adults feel like children, and children simply feel happy. It wasn’t just a game of laser tag. It was a day when laughter was louder than memories of hard times. A day when every child felt important, protected, and needed. Red Cross volunteers and the team of the “First Legion” Center welcomed the children with warmth, care, and ...

This day is about the most important thing — children who deserve safety, love, and care. It’s about every child’s right to be heard, accepted, and protected. Since 2007, the “Home of Happy Children” Center proves every day: even in the darkest times, we can create a space where childhood becomes bright again. A space where children who have lost their homes or families receive a chance at a new life, support, and the warmth of a true family. “Children are not only our future — they are our present. We, the adults, are responsible for making this present worthy and safe. We are here to ...

At the Assistance Center, children not only recover, but also discover completely new emotions. For most of them, this is the first experience of rollerblading or cycling. And we are not exaggerating. Yesterday they were just watching others do it. And today, they are already standing on wheels, laughing, trying to balance, falling and getting up again. This is not just entertainment - it is active recreation, development of coordination, self-confidence, freedom of movement. And most importantly, it is a sense of childhood that children in difficult life circumstances often lack. We thank everyone ...

Each drawing has a heart. Every clay figure has the warmth of hands. This is how our volunteers Tatiana and Gennady work. They are people who have long been part of the Center's big family. Tetiana is a quiet magic of color. She comes to our children with paints, brushes and incredible tenderness. She teaches them to see the sky in yellow and joy in watercolor spots. Her classes are more than just painting. It is about confidence, freedom and inner peace. She doesn't just teach how to hold a brush - she helps children hold themselves. Gennadiy is a master of clay, patience and kindness. His modeling ...

There is more to children's drawings than just colors and shapes. They are stories, dreams, emotions and a way to express what is difficult to say in words. That's why we hold drawing classes for children at the Help Center - it's not just entertainment, but an important stage in their development and support. Drawing helps children to experience emotions, overcome anxiety, develop imagination and self-confidence. Each brush stroke is a step towards inner freedom, an opportunity to express their feelings without fear of being misunderstood. For children who have experienced difficult circumstances, ...

Each of them has their own story. And each of them deserves care, warmth and comfort. Our mission is to be there for them, to support them, to hug them, to believe in them, to inspire them. We want children to be happy, feel protected and know that they are not alone. When we see their smiles, it is the best proof that everything we do makes sense. This is a sign that a child's heart is open to the world, that warmth has overcome the cold of loneliness, that love always finds a way. We are grateful to everyone who is with us. Together we give children a chance for a childhood full of joy and ...
