LATEST UPDATES:
August 2025: UCAP expanded its support through two major initiatives.
Room of Happiness Project (2025 Report PDF): UCAP helped create safe, healing spaces in hospitals for children removed from abusive or violent households. More than 80 children across three hospitals in Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia received nearly 400 hours of psychological support, along with tutoring, art therapy, toys, and hygiene supplies. By easing anxiety, fostering trust in adults, and restoring a sense of normalcy, these activities have given children comfort and stability during their hospital stays.
Targeted Assistance Program (2025 Report PDF): UCAP provided essential aid to vulnerable foster and guardian families struggling with displacement, poverty, and trauma. Support included necessities, household appliances, educational tools (such as laptops, tablets, and school supplies), and recreational items (including board games, bicycles, and art materials). Families caring for orphaned and abandoned children, often grandparents or foster parents in frontline or displaced communities, reported that this assistance gave them stability, strengthened resilience, and restored hope.
Together, these efforts are helping children in Ukraine not only survive the hardships of war but also preserve their right to safety, family care, education, and the joy of childhood.
June 2024: UCAP provided appliances, generators, beds, and other essential supplies to more than 40 families in need. Yuliia Kardash, UCAP’s Regional Director, personally helped distribute these provisions, along with gifts for children, to many loving yet struggling families.

UCAP – MOM Plus ME Foundation Report
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Ukraine Children’s Action Project (UCAP) has partnered with the MOM plus ME Charitable Foundation, which supports the urgent needs of orphans brought up in foster and adoptive families in homes throughout Ukraine. Nearly 1,400 of these large families were forced to leave their homes in occupied territories and needed to find new housing in safer communities.
Our support has benefited hundreds of vulnerable children, including those with severe disabilities living close to the front lines. Resources funded by UCAP include a generator, kitchenware, cooking appliances required for meal preparation, and a supply of nutritious food. Additionally, UCAP provided warm winter clothing and holiday gifts for orphaned children in war-torn cities exposed to dangerously cold temperatures.
Educational training and workshops for children and caregivers have also been funded to enhance psychological well-being, promote communication among orphans, and empower foster parents with technical guidance and moral support.
