The program reaches children in care and in difficult circumstances. In wartime Ukraine 44% of children are having difficulty concentrating, easily getting upset or feeling lonely.

Developing potential through mentoring and tutoring


Children can’t learn well when they’re stressed and don't have a stable home. We start with a personal mentor, then when a child has a supportive role model in their life we can help with tutoring. This brings positive changes for children like Maria, and develops their potential so they can succeed in life.
