History of the Organization

The organization began its work in 2014 as a volunteer initiative in response to the needs of children affected by hostilities in Donbas. The first directions were support for orphaned children, assistance to institutional care facilities, and work with families in crisis.

Already at the initial stage, it became clear that individual humanitarian actions do not solve systemic problems. This became the impetus for creating an organization that works comprehensively — combining social, psychological and educational components.
