HELP US HELP THE ORPHANS

Telethon fundraiser

 

          Help Us Help The Children, a project of Children Of Chornobyl Canadian Fund is a voluntary, non-profit charitable initiative dedicated to improving the quality of life of children living in orphanages in Ukraine. The purpose and mission of Help Us Help The Children (HUHTC) is to provide immediate aid to those most vulnerable in Ukraine - the children.

          20 years ago, Help Us Help The Children made at least two humanitarian trips a year, personally delivering supplies to orphanages in all parts of Ukraine. To date, outreach teams have traveled a combined distance of over 170,000 km throughout 25 Oblasts (Provinces) of Ukraine. Over 35,000 children in more than 205 orphanages, 16 hospitals, rehabilitation centers and clinics, have benefited from supplies of medication, infant formula, clothing, as well as educational toys and materials.

          Members of the Help Us Help The Children and our Ukrainian team have distributed over 980 tons of purchased and/or donated goods with a retail value of approximately $16,000,000 CAD. With improvements in all orphanages, yearly routes have decreased, however, surprise visits continue to review that quality of care is maintained.

          HUHTC work towards their mission through:

          •        Life skills-building annual summer and winter camp in Ukraine's Carpathian Mountains

          •        Scholarship programs

          •        Anti-trafficking seminars

          •        Medical /dental exams and equipment distribution

          •        Disbursement of educational materials, clothes, and toys

          HUHTC holds events here, in Canada, to raise money for orphans. One of the fundraising events taking place this year is Telethon. All of the proceeds will go towards covering the costs of the Summer camp facilitation and supplies for over 400 orphans in Ukraine.

          As the 20th anniversary Summer Camp continues to look for benefactors, we hope to raise as much awareness of the event as possible, and thus we are asking for your support in this undertaking.

          If you wish to support this great cause, please donate generously by sending your gift through your cell phone. Text  GIFT  to 45678 to donate $10.00 or more.
