"Children's Hope" is a social initiative launched by Kyivstar in late 2018 in cooperation with the Ukrainian Philanthropic Marketplace (UPM). The initial goal of the project was to help children with heart disease and cancer by purchasing the necessary equipment for Ukrainian hospitals. In 2023, the care was extended to children with burns. Kyivstar provides its subscribers with the opportunity to transfer funds to charity quickly and conveniently, and allocates UAH 28.3 million to purchase medical equipment for children with burns. In the summer of 2025, the initiative will start helping children's intensive care units.

        

Funds raised under the Children's Hope initiative are used to support children's oncology and cardiology clinics, as well as the burn unit and children's intensive care units of the Unbreakable National Rehabilitation Center, which was opened on the basis of the First Medical Unit in Lviv. These institutions receive modern medical equipment, medical supplies, instruments, and prompt repairs of existing equipment.

Kyivstar prepaid subscribers can choose the area of assistance (oncology, cardiology, burns or children's intensive care) and one of five regions of the country (Kyiv, Dnipro, Lviv, Odesa and Kharkiv) to which their charitable contributions will be directed. Donations can be made as a one-time donation, from UAH 1 to UAH 2,000, or as a regular donation, in the amounts of UAH 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20. A regular donation will be made automatically after each deposit of UAH 40 or more. The amount of the contribution does not matter, because every hryvnia helps a good cause.
Get involved and send a message with an amount of 1 UAH or more to the following numbers:
- 450011 - to support children with cancer;
- 450016 - to help kids with heart disease;
- 450025 - to provide treatment for children with burns;
- 450028 - to help children's intensive care units.


Since the launch of the initiative, SMS donations from the mobile operator's subscribers have already helped to purchase equipment for more than a dozen children's medical institutions.
