Campaigns

According to the data of the survey conducted by Child Well-being Fund Ukraine in July 2009, more than a third of people in Ukraine believes that physical punishment of children is not only permissible but it is necessary.

Child abuse and disregard of their interests may have different types and forms, but their consequences are always serious damage to health, development and socialization of the child, and often threat to her/his life or even cause of death.

From November 2008 to June 2009 Child Well-being Fund Ukraine was conducting an international information campaign,"See. Hear. Tell." (Parents, who hurt their children, are trying to hide it).

Aim of the campaign is community involvement in activities aimed at overcoming the problem of child abuse.

June 1, 2006 on the International Children's Day the Fund participated in a charity event of mercy “Children to Children”, held under the patronage of the Ministry of Family, Youth and Sports, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Ukraine, supported by National Artist of Ukraine Bogdan Stupka, Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theater, "Ukrprombank", "Kozyrna Karta" and the charity fund of the magazine “Edinstvennaya”.

The aim of the event “Little Ukrainians need adult assistance” is to raise funds among the Ukrainian community to meet the needs of orphans and children without parental care, who are brought up in state care institutions.

Since November 2006 Child Well-being Fund Ukraine began charity event "Searching for Angel" which was aimed at mobilizing resources of Ukrainian society to create opportunities for orphans and children without parental care to grow and to be brought up in a family environment.

The main result of the campaign will be the provision of two new family-type homes for upbringing of orphans and children without parental care in Kaniv and Kirovograd.
