In April 2024, families with children aged 3 to 17 were evacuated from the front-line Kuril and Dvorichna communities along with their families due to renewed offensive actions by the Russian army. These families were accommodated in Kharkiv.

Charitable organization “Charity Foundation “CodeIT4Life Ukraine” conducts a series of events aimed at supporting the evacuated children of Kupyansk district. The format of these events: a series of celebrations with activities where children can get positive emotions, make new friends, reduce stress and socialize. Also, on holidays, families of children receive humanitarian kits with hygiene products, delicacies and stationery.

Support of the children evacuated from the zone of active hostilities, help them socialize in a new place, expand their circle of communication, improve their psycho-emotional state, facilitate relationship development between people from the same community, helping them to integrate into a new society, support families with humanitarian aid, discover free opportunities that the city provides (events are held in safe children’s spaces, which are open to visitors at any time).

During the 3 months of implementation, our team managed to:

– unite 137 children displaced from the Kuril community;

– conduct 10 entertainment events;

– distribute 137 humanitarian kits;

– engage 12 specialists;

– involve 4 partners, who provided additional materials for the humanitarian kits;

– provide stuffed toys for children;

– the girls were given sneakers from our partners;

– we also handed over stationery sets for children and teenagers.

We responded to the request of the Kuril and Dvorichna communities and signed a Memoranda of Cooperation. The Department of Education in the community and the local administration provide maximum assistance in holding these events, and help communicating with parents and children.
