We are a team from the Charitable organization Mother and Child. We are diverse, but we are united by one common goal: to save children's lives and help families in distress.

We sincerely believe that charity begins in the heart. Our hearts are filled with the desire to make children's lives bright, interesting, fulfilling, and full of love. After all, helping one child may not change the whole world, but for that child, the world will change forever.

We have united to fulfill an important mission that inspires us. We believe in the power of kindness and want to contribute to the greater good. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our partners, sponsors, media outlets, benefactors, and volunteers for their incredible support. Together, we are a big heart!

    Financial support (in UAH, EUR, USD)
