Kharkiv. Children draw to win. 2

Our Foundation continues to raise funds for the Drawing for Children club, which operates at the Otradne Center for Children and Families in Kharkiv. Due to the full-scale war, many development centers have been closed, and those that operate on a commercial basis charge high prices for their services. Of course, vulnerable categories of the population, large and single-parent families, and internally displaced persons cannot afford to pay for such leisure activities for their children. Thanks to the work of the Otradnoe Creative Center, these children can develop, socialize and, despite the war, live a normal childhood life.

The Otradnoe Center for Children and Families has been working for children and their parents in Kharkiv for over 25 years. Due to the hostilities, the center's doors were closed to visitors for some time. However, starting in 2023, it started working again for those children who remain living in Kharkiv, as well as IDPs who came to the city to seek shelter and assistance.

One of the most popular classes at the Center is drawing. It not only develops children's creativity, but also has a significant therapeutic effect, positively influencing their psycho-emotional state, especially given the long-term impact of stress on children in Kharkiv. When planning the schedule of classes for 2024-2025, the head of the center saw this trend again, counting the number of applications from parents. Unfortunately, due to the budget deficit, the foundation is forced to look for additional funding to pay for the work of the club leaders, so we are reopening the fundraising. To continue to make bright colors and brushes happy for Kharkiv children, we need UAH 18,866 per month to pay the salary of a club leader. We ask you to support this project and make a charitable donation to the project account so that every child has the opportunity to draw their winning picture!
