UCAP is proud to support Plast, the Ukrainian Scout Organization in Poland, which organizes several programs for refugee children across the country. Plast camps offer refugee children safe, welcoming spaces to connect with peers who share similar experiences and maintain their connection to Ukraine during these challenging times.
UPDATE:
Thanks to UCAP’s ongoing support in 2024, nearly one thousand children have benefited from enhanced programs at various Plast centers this summer.
UCAP funding has subsidized Plast summer camp fees to reduce parents’ costs, allowing more children to attend. The new funding has also provided essential supplies for regular scouting activities, such as arts and crafts, across 10 Plast centers in cities including Warsaw, Krakow, Wrocław, Poznań, and Gdańsk. We also continue to fund Ukrainian Domivka centers in Warsaw and Lublin, enabling Plast to conduct classes on Ukrainian culture and traditions.
