    We accepted 17 children from ATO zone

    This year was quite complicated for our country, enduring military confrontation and conflicts on Eastern Ukraine made significant political changes. Unfortunately we are far beneath the cessation of arms. In spite of everything, we are providing usual standards of child’s support in our Centre. Thanks to our sponsors, we considerably increased our opportunities. We accepted 17 children from ATO zone to our foster families. Now our Centre is overfulled. We are glad to shelter these children and to give them true family and holiday spirit of New Year.

    On December 02-04, 2014, the first in the series of seminars entitled ‘Street-Based Youth Work: Clarification of Terms, Introduction to the Concept, and Assessment System’ took place under the mobile youth work project implemented in the Dnipro District of Kyiv by the Structural Subdivision of the German-Polish-Ukrainian Society in Ukraine in partnership with the German organisation Aktion Mensch. The seminar participants included social workers, psychologists, lawyers, and civil servants from the Dnipro District of Kyiv. Professors Walther Specht and Werner Kübler, German experts from the International Society for Mobile Youth Work in Stuttgart, delivered highly interesting lectures that gave the children’s rights experts a new insight into street-based work with persons facing vulnerabilities and Germany’s proprietary mobile work model. The participants also developed the toolkit for social environment analysis in the Dnipro District of Kyiv.

    The staff of the Centre for Child Protection Our Kids supports the awareness campaign entitled 'Violence is trash'

    The staff of the Centre for Child Protection Our Kids supports the awareness campaign entitled ‘Violence is trash that should be taken out of the home.’ The campaign is conducted under the auspices of the international charity Ukrainian Foundation for Public Health. Despite the hardships currently faced by Ukraine and its people, our duty is not only to repeatedly raise the issue but also counteract any gender-based violence in the society. This is our task, our mission, and the path that we chose towards civil society and equal rights and opportunities. We appreciate the brilliant idea and an opportunity to make a significant, albeit minor contribution to its realisation. Yours truly, the staff of the Centre for Child Protection Our Kids.
