I'm running for inclusion. Valerii Shypunov

"I like Dzherelo because of their goal to develop, make a long-lasting impact, help children with special needs realize their potential. A company Innocode, where I hold a position of a chief technical officer, had a very positive experience of partnership with Dzherelo. That is why I want to run half marathon distance at Nova Poshta Kyiv Half Marathon on April 22 to raise minimum 20 000 UAH for Dzherelo.”

Children with disabilities in Ukraine have much fewer opportunities to study, entertain and communicate than their healthy peers. And it is not just about the availability of the environment or the training of staff, but also the financial ability of parents. Concerned about the physical needs of the child, often they have no strength or funds for socialization.

At the Dzherelo Centre in Lviv every day hundreds of children and young people with special needs receive everything important for a full-fledged life and self-fulfillment. Families learn to cope with challenges, children discover the world and find friends, young people act on a stage and paint their first pictures. Special minibusses bring children to classes in any weather, and rehabilitation cannot be stopped due to the increase in fuel cost. Every donation to the Dzherelo Centre’s work gives one more family hope for a quality life!
