A safe space for Ukraine’s children: Voices of Children’s Program

Countless children and families have experienced great pain, trauma, and displacement as a result of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Voices of Children, a partner organization of PWRDF, provides an essential lifeline amidst the destruction. For children and their caregivers, its 21-day program offers a secure refuge where they can recover, cope, and start over, while participating in camp-like activities, regaining a part of their childhood they lost due to the war.

Located in the Carpathian mountains, the program provides a peaceful space away from the chaos of the ongoing conflict. Personalized art and verbal therapy is provided by skilled therapists to the young participants. They are able to face their feelings, talk about their experiences, and start the healing process in this encouraging setting.

The program’s comprehensive strategy addresses the children’s varied emotional and psychological needs. Children and caregivers can more effectively handle the difficulties of war and displacement by learning useful coping mechanisms and stress management techniques. They are able to repair connections, rekindle hope, and anticipate a better future thanks to this empowering assistance. 

The Voices of Children initiative offers hope during a period of extreme need. They are assisting Ukrainian children and families in their healing, recovery, and reclaiming of their lives by offering vital assistance and care.
