This year we are once again helping families prepare to send their kids back to school, with new backpacks, school supplies, clothes, and shoes. Children are excited as they anticipate the “First Bell,” when they will join their classmates for the first day of the new academic year. For many parents, however, the cost is overwhelming; their budgets scarcely cover rent, food, and essential hygiene items.
We are working with local Jewish communities across Ukraine to ensure students are well equipped for the new academic year. Younger children receive colorful packs filled with markers, pencils, and small gifts. Older children receive binders, pens, notebooks, and more. Many families are also provided vouchers to purchase new clothes and shoes, so children feel confident and energized as they resume their students.
We appreciate all the staff and volunteers who distribute the items to thousands of children and their families, and we are grateful to the generous donors who make our work possible.
Together we save lives and restore hope.
