We present to your attention the film Ukraine’s Forgotten Children, now available in Ukrainian. The film was created by BBC documentary filmmakers at the Kalynivka orphanage in 2011–2012, but many of the issues remain relevant today.

The film shows the construction of the first “Happy Home,” and now you can help us build “Happy Home – 3” for orphans with disabilities.

Without our support, fifteen-year-old Maksym Didenko will not be able to continue his vital rehabilitation and corrective classes. Please help raise funds for the boy’s treatment and development!
