Projects for Sponsors

 

There are so many projects that we would like to undertake it is very difficult to know where best to start. Each project has been selected on the basis of maximum impact to help the children with as little as possible risk of leakage due to corruption - an ever present problem in Ukraine.

We understand that many Ukraine citizens are understandably concerned that any donation that they make may not reach the intended beneficiary. We can assure you that each project is individually monitored and we are happy to supply all invoices together with photographic evidence as proof that a donor's money is being used with integrity.

We welcome donations both large and small. For corporate or larger donations we are always able to find a suitable project tailored to the size or frequency of a donation. We also welcome donations in terms of labour and materials for those that would prefer to manage their own funds for the benefit of the children.

Regular and corporate donors are also welcome to link their web site with our own and will receive special mention on our ‘Supporters and Volunteer's' page. Invitations will also be given to join us at our annual dinner and fund raising event here in Odessa, giving an opportunity for our supporters from the world of business an opportunity to meet like-minded people from other countries and cultures.

Each month we require funding to pay for the following:

•  Monthly delivery of washing powder, detergents, soap, etc. (at least $ 100 per month per institution)

•  Provide urgent medical supplies, as well as basic items such as pampers to the abandoned and orphaned baby unit at the Oblast Pediatric Hospital in Slobodka, Odessa. A course of antibiotics costing only $50 or so is often enough to save a life.

Ongoing projects that require regular sums of money include:

•  Providing new beds for institutions.

•  Providing new mattresses, pillows, waterproof coverings and duvets.

•  Provide children's clothing and shoes.
