Empower & Educate Ukraine's War-Affected Youth

Dear GlobalGiving supporters,

This time, we would like to share the story of Christina-Maria, an 11-year-old beneficiary of Children of Heroes, and how educational support is helping her regain confidence and discover new possibilities after a devastating loss.

Thanks to your support, children receive access to education, psychological care, and other long-term assistance that helps them rebuild their lives. Today, more than 17,000 children are supported by our Foundation, and every child has their own story.

Christina-Maria’s Story

After losing her father, Christina-Maria became more withdrawn and struggled to return to her usual learning routine. She later joined our English and 3D modeling classes.

The lessons became more than just education. In a safe and supportive environment, she gradually became more confident, started actively participating, and no longer felt afraid to express her thoughts in English. She especially enjoyed 3D modeling, which gave her an opportunity to create, experiment, and discover a new interest.

Today, Christina-Maria attends her classes with enthusiasm and has become more confident and open. Educational support has given her new skills, stability, and renewed belief in herself and her future.

Thank you for making stories like Christina-Maria’s possible. Your continued support helps us provide long-term opportunities for more than 17,000 children and helps them learn, grow, and look toward a brighter future.
