Make a REAL difference in Ukraine with Childcare & Development Program
- Volunteer Opportunity posted by Love Volunteers
Description
The mission of this program is to care for the orphaned, abandoned and impoverished children of Ukraine. There are more than 100,000 children in more than 140 orphanages in Ukraine, and these facilities are often desperately underfunded and understaffed. Volunteers supply hands on care to the children, helping with their education, playing games and arranging fun activities during leisure time, like sports or trips to the park. The children in orphanages require a lot of care, attention and most importantly, companionship. Volunteers play a hugely significant part in the lives of these vulnerable children by simply showing they care, and giving them hope. Once back home, volunteers might help further by fundraising, organizing events such as auctions, and thus helping to provide the medication, food, clothing, vitamins, toys and other necessities that are in such short supply.
Goals of this Project:
- Provide essential childcare to vulnerable children of Ukraine
- Improve the future prospects of the children in Ukraine
- Give impoverished children quality care, compassion and a sense of hope
- Enable inter-cultural exchange which benefits both locals and international volunteers alike.

Love Volunteers welcomes all those 18 years and over who wish to assist in the ongoing support and development of marginalized and at-risk children of Ukraine. This highly interactive and varied project does not require participants to have a background in the field of childcare, as there are many ways you can assist. However, volunteers with suitable education, qualifications or experience are highly sought after. Regardless, a volunteer’s individual role can often be tailored to suit their particular skills and interests. Importantly, all applicants must first and foremost have a genuine willingness to help, show drive and initiative, and bring a positive 'can-do' attitude. If this sounds like you, we want you on the team!
Additionally, volunteers applying to join this program will be required to supply to following documentation:
