Chair Social project KI-E 2023-24 | | | How can we help families in Ukraine?
Kiwanis in Europe works with SOS Children's Villages. This organization has been running children's villages in Ukraine for many years. In the wake of the war, they have created many new reception points for internally displaced families, sometimes with partners. As a result, they know the situation inside out and have the contacts needed to take effective action. What are the aims of SOS in Ukraine? - Helping single-parent families, orphans, disabled children and severely traumatized children
- Prevent the separation of families and provide them with essential aid such as security, food, livelihood, health and education
- Protect children in emergency situations
- Create a substitute family environment for children who have lost their families
- prevent these children from being placed in state institutions, which are totally overwhelmed and lack the resources to create an environment conducive to children's development
How does SOS work in the field?
Children and young people who have lost their parents, or who have had to flee with a single mother or foster family, are taken to safety and cared for by professionals; families in need receive direct assistance to enable them to cope with emergencies and ensure their children's education. For the year 2023-24, SOS plans to help at least 170,000 people, with financial requirements estimated at 33 million euros. | |
