Thank you for your support!

Purpose of the project

With Christmas just around the corner, our team has embarked on a major project to put a smile back on the faces of Ukrainian children for the festive season. With the participation of the Docteur Hibou association, whose volunteers made bags, puppets and cushions, and Kukuryku, a publisher of board games based in Czestochowa in Poland, we were able to finance the making of 250 bundles filled with gifts for children in the Ivankiv and Mykolaïv regions, and co-finance 450 others.

Logistics

We organized the logistics for the delivery of the gifts, the liaison with our staff, and we managed the translations of the board games rules.

A total of 700 children, 600 in the Ivankiv region and 100 around Mikolayv, received a bag. These included pencils, board games, an insulated bottle, a torch, soft toys and puppet kits, sweets and reflective bracelets.

Distribution

Our volunteer Tomek and his wife Anna distributed the gifts during the Orthodox Christmas, from 5 to 7 January. They both travelled around the Ivankiv area, as they felt that the distribution would be safer this way. The mayor of Ivankiv and the deputy were also able to be present at the distribution. 

We also organised a distribution in the Mikolayv region, with the help of the Ukrainian NGO Children victims of the war. 

Thank you to all participants !

The Small Projects Fund financed a total of €2000 for this project. The rest was funded by the Food Bank of Poland and private donors.

We would like to thank all the participants for helping us to bring a little human warmth to Ukrainian children during the Holiday season!
