This Thanksgiving, Help Us Bring Healing and Hope to Children in Orphanages.
Your support can provide life-changing psychological care to children who need it most.
At the Ukraine Volya Foundation, we believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing environment to grow emotionally and mentally. Our mission is to improve children's mental and emotional well-being in orphanages through consistent, professional psychological support, fostering their development into healthy, emotionally resilient individuals. Our values are to help those left behind.
Children in orphanages frequently exhibit higher rates of behavioral and emotional problems compared to their peers. According to various studies, up to 70% of children in institutional settings struggle with attachment issues, anxiety, and depression and have experienced trauma, often stemming from neglect, abuse, or parental loss. Long-term consequences are mental health issues in adulthood, including higher rates of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Adults who received psychological support as children in orphanages report lower rates of depression and better overall mental health compared to those who did not receive such support ( sources -UNICEF: Children in Institutional Care, The Impact of Early Childhood Trauma)
This campaign supports 30 children aged 3-16 for 6 months of therapy sessions in four orphanages in the Lviv region of Ukraine. This initiative is specifically designed to assist orphaned and abandoned children who have suffered from trauma, neglect, or abuse as a result of the ongoing war.
