Our organization is created to meet the needs of women and children from Luhansk region who have been forcibly displaced from their homes due to the full-scale Russian aggression.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank Maryna Bohun for her assistance to the children of Novopskov, who are forced to see their homes only in photos.
