The Ukrainian Education Platform has become a general partner of the Ukrainian Philanthropists Association and is launching a new category in the «Charitable Ukraine» competition

«It’s important for us to highlight those who support children every day and help them grow, even in times of war. The «Growing Through Storms» campaign is about the resilience of childhood, which needs care, warmth, and the chance to dream. That is why, with this award, we want to thank the people and organizations that create a space of safety, support, and hope for children», says Mariana Kashchak, director of the Ukrainian Education Platform.

The goal of the award is not only to recognize initiatives that have already been implemented but also to increase the visibility of the work of organizations and individuals who support children in difficult life circumstances every day, especially amid a full-scale invasion.

Charitable foundations, community and volunteer organizations, socially responsible businesses, and philanthropists are invited to participate. Anyone working in the field of child rights protection, assisting children from vulnerable groups, or supporting orphanages, residential care facilities, foster care centers, or alternative forms of care – regardless of the scale of their activities or geographic location – is eligible to apply.

Protecting children today is a shared responsibility in which every initiative matters; that is why the nomination covers both large-scale programs and local projects or the daily work of volunteers.
