Children with special conditions of development have the same rights and needs as other schoolchildren. They aspire to have friends and communicate, have the right to study, and to develop and enjoy their childhood. Unfortunately, due to such physical barriers such as distance and inaccessible public transportation, the vast majority of such children have to stay home, although there are only several kilometers between them and friends.

Dzherelo Center is a unique place where hundreds of children and youth with disabilities receive physical and psychological rehabilitation, learn to be independent, develop their talents and find friends. Special minibuses bring more than 100 students from all over Lviv and return them back home in the afternoon, allowing parents to work during a day and take time for the whole family.

Every donation grants mobility and full life to kids with disabilities and their families!
