A Voice for Children

Our work has evolved into a single mission: to be the global voice for Ukraine’s children. Building on our direct care for war orphans, we now focus on the most urgent crisis threatening Ukraine’s future—the mass abduction of its children.

Global Advocacy

We ensure the world does not look away. Through high-visibility campaigns like Empty Beds in NYC, we use art and media to keep the 19,546+ abducted children in global focus—demanding their return and accountability.

Our Roots in Care

Our advocacy is grounded in what we witnessed firsthand. Through projects like the Mahala Deinstitutionalization Pilot and Operation Santa, we saw the vulnerability of Ukraine’s children—an experience that strengthened our resolve to fight for those taken beyond the border.
