In the midst of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the lives of children are being disrupted and their future is increasingly put at risk.
The Ukraine Children’s Action Project (UCAP) is working to ensure that all children in Ukraine have access to the vital resources they need to stay safe and secure in the face of war and devastation.
UCAP was established to assess and support the urgent needs of displaced children who have escaped from the full-scale Russian invasion that began on February 24, 2022.
Since that time, nearly two-thirds of Ukraine’s children under age 15 have fled besieged areas in eastern regions of the nation. Many of these children have experienced severe trauma and face ongoing disruption to their education.
Our mission is to optimize the health, well-being, and education of children who have been impacted by war and separated from their families, homes, and communities.
UCAP works with local officials, non-governmental organizations, national government officials in Ukraine, and countries hosting Ukrainian refugees.
Our efforts extend beyond immediate war relief; we are dedicated to bolstering Ukraine’s future and reinstating normalcy for every child, family, and community affected by Russia’s illegal aggression.
UCAP has funded nearly 50 programs focused on the following areas:
Addressing trauma
Education and youth
Child health
Humanitarian needs
Awareness and advocacy
