Story

Will you help us support children with disabilities and their families in Ukraine?

"I can't take in what is happening because on the one hand, my country is at war, and on the other hand, I don't have the option of losing my balance, my mental stability, because my daughter with autism may panic and be another problem, as we huddle with other families in the shelter" - Nataliya Ostrogliad, Zaporozhye.

Children with disabilities and their families are among the most severely affected by the war in Ukraine. Many are spending much of their time in cellars and metro stations, unable to get hold of the most basic necessities for their children.

From 2015 HealthProm has supported a network of over 50 parent-led NGOs, across Ukraine, to campaign for Early Intervention services for children with disabilities and their families. With a lifelong commitment to all vulnerable children, they have been instrumental in developing a new, inclusive, approach to child disability. And from Lviv in the west, to the government-controlled regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, they remain united in their determination to protect all vulnerable children in Ukraine. We are now in contact with some 2,500 parents and supporters of children with disabilities, committed to the development of a better world for their children, and now, to their survival.

Please, will you help us to help these children and their families?

"Attention! Go immediately to the shelters, take your dogs too!". Vika, age 11.

HealthProm is discussing with our parent lead NGOs how best to get them what they need. If it is not possible, or too dangerous, for our network to distribute funds and necessities, we will transfer the funds to organisations that can do this.

100% of your donations will go towards helping families with disabilities in Ukraine.
