Story About Us
Who are we?
Our mission is to help those in Belarus whose lives continue to be blighted by the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster – babies born with genetic disorders and children with cancer or disabilities. We also seek to provide social and educational opportunities for children with disabilities and to move children and young people out of institutions.

We need your help
Let’s improve the lives of children with disabilities in Belarus
Not only are we striving hard to make the lives of those kids and young adults living in institutions happier and more fulfilled but, through an intense programme of education and training, we are fighting hard to encourage the authorities to provide better care in the community so that as many people as possible can live as independently as possible in family type environments. But all this costs money and we desperately need your help.

Because of the tragic ongoing war in Ukraine, we are not able to bring children to the UK for holidays or send volunteers to Belarus.
But our important work within Belarus, supporting children and young people with disabilities, is continuing as usual, and you can read all about it in our Winter Newsletter 2022.
We are very grateful to everyone who has continued to support us through these difficult times.
