The Open Heart Charitable Foundation was founded on 6 April 2004 and has been providing support to vulnerable groups for over 21 years. The aim of the foundation is to help people in difficult life circumstances: orphans, disabled people, low-income families and those in need. The organisation's activities are based on the principles of compassion, openness and the desire to make the world a kinder place. One of the key achievements of the foundation was the opening of the Development Centre in 2016 for \"sunny\" children<\/a>for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), motor allergy and children with disabilities.

With the outbreak of a full-scale war in Ukraine, the Charitable Foundation faced new challenges - thousands of victims needed not only material support but also psychological recovery. In response to these needs, we have changed and significantly expanded our activities and opened a Centre for Psychological Assistance and Rehabilitation for the military and their families, where they can receive free assistance. This new stage of our work has become a logical continuation of our mission to be where we are needed most.<\/p>\n

Join our good work - your support changes lives! Your help is not just a transaction. It is a piece of hope that we together bring to those who are waiting for it.<\/p>\n

We do not ask - we invite. We invite you to become part of the change, part of the future! Goodness starts with you. Start today!
\n\"They take care of us on the battlefield, and we take care of them and their families here.\"<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
