Sometimes the little ones need a boost. Which is why we deliver these gift packages to children in need in the villages around Kharkiv.

We work closely with local groups to ensure our aid goes to those most in need and that the local community is included in our work.

If you would like to help us in our work, a toddler box costs just £15

Every Saturday at the Kyivska Hub we hand out donations to mothers and children. As supplies have been running low recently, we'veonly have items such as wet wipes, soap and shampoo to hand out recently.

As always, when we distribute to children, we make sure there are chocolate bars and toys to hand out too. We want this to be a positive experience for children.

We don't want to make receiving help a difficult or taboo experience. We are all in this together ❤️

Another toddler box delivered! Providing essential hygiene items and lots of fortified porridge to this young family! We also delivered a car seat and potty thanks to TASH for Ukraine

Their father is currently enlisted as a defender of Ukraine and fighting on the frontlines. It is our honour and duty to assist them during this time.

We're so excited to launch our new project! As well as baby boxes we are now providing toddler boxes to parents with babies between 6-24 months 👶

One of our cornerstone principles is ensuring that infants get the nutrition they need to grow and develop. Regardless of the political or familial situations they are born in to.

Here one of our little ones is already enjoying the snacks from their latest Toddler box. These boxes contain fortified porridge, teething biscuits, fruit purees, vitamins, baby safe detergent, shampoo, diaper cream, baby wipes and diapers

If anyone would like to sponsor a box, these cost approximately $15 as all items are sourced within Ukraine.

We get so many requests for every kind of baby food. Formula, porridge, teething biscuits, baby food jars. The list goes on...

For many IDP and struggling families in Kharkiv, being able to collect these items from the children's hub is the difference between food security or wondering where their child's next meal is coming from.

Unfortunately, this week our stocks of donated baby food have almost run out and we're not sure when we can expect more. However, as many of our items are bought outright in Ukraine by us, as this is very cost effective. We would really appreciate any contribution towards our new baby food fund.

International women's day is very important to Ukrainians. Its customary for men here to give the women in their lives flowers and all day long you'll see them browsing the street stalls that have popped up and women walking around proudly clutching their new bouquets.

Messages are exchanged between loved ones and colleagues, expressing gratitude that they have this person in their life. As Ukrainians fight for the visibility of their culture and history, often there are posts about influential Ukrainian women whose contributions the Soviet Union tried to erase.

We are so proud to work with hundreds of brave women across Ukraine. Who carry on and smile, through the most difficult circumstances. ❤️

Nothing warms our hearts more than seeing families sticking together through these dark times ❤️

While we focus on children, we help anyone wherever we can. A mother or grandmother might bring the little ones, only focused on getting them the clothes and nutrition they need. When we tell them we also have clothes, food and hygiene products for adults, they are often overwhelmed.

Its amazing how much some shampoo and a few bags of oats can mean to someone. But in that moment they know that they are not forgotten or overlooked.
