Project "Touch to Heart"
work with children aged 8-17 years

To Feed, Warm up and Teach...
Every year, 13,000 children in Ukraine suffer from acute distress. One third of them are separated from their families by social services due to the threat to their children's physical and moral wellbeing. 5,000 children suffer from violence and delinquency.

Problems that children and adolescents from low-income families are facing:
- neglect due to irresponsible parenthood;
- lack of attention from parents due to their excessive workload;
- availability and exposure of age-inappropriate content on the Internet;
- lack of free hobby and sport clubs that would give an opportunity to develop harmoniously;
- poor diet;
- inaccessibility of cultural events and museums due to the high cost of tickets and lack of time for adults that could accompany children;


To support children and adolescents:
- we hold weekly meetings in three districts of the city (Center, Southern and Osipenko districts);
- we provide assistance with school assignments;
- we study the Law of God together with children, teach Christian behavior, virtues and traditions;
- we provide hot lunches during events;
- by our own example during the events we teach children mutual respect, cooperation, healthy lifestyle skills;
- together we attend picnics, performances;
- we hold master classes and games.


Project Needs:
- stationery for master classes;
- financial support in organizing visits to museums, performances and other educational and entertainment events;
- useful master classes on the development of household skills that can be conducted by volunteers for children participating in the project.


All activities are free for participants.
