- 11,085 families have received material and psychological assistance
- 54,747 children have taken part in educational, cultural, and social activities
- 3,137 specialists have gained new knowledge to better support children
- 60 children found new families, feeling warmth and care
«We are deeply grateful for your trust and involvement. It is thanks to you that we can grow, reach more children, and make kindness a driving force for change. Your support fills our shared mission with meaning, inspiration, and faith that change is possible - even in the most difficult times. When kindness multiplies, the world becomes warmer.»- Maryana Romanyak, CEO of Ridni
Ridni joined Eurochild in May 2025: "For us, membership in Eurochild is not only recognition of our work but also new opportunities. Children’s voices should be heard not only at the national but also at the European level. Our joint work with Eurochild is another step towards ensuring that children in Ukraine grow up in a safe, caring, and dignified environment."
