The women’s wing of the All-Ukrainian Trade Union of Defenders of Ukraine, led by Deputy Chair Sofiya Cherepanova, provides ongoing support to orphaned children raised in family-type orphanages and orphanages across Ukraine, as well as to low-income families. 

In cooperation with the Mykolaiv regional organization of the Trade Union and with the support of the charitable organization "I Will Help," footwear and clothing were provided to the orphanages of Bila Tserkva and Vorzel, support was given to family-type orphanages in the Kyiv region, and a shipment of women’s and children’s clothing was sent to Sloviansk in the Donetsk region. From there, with the help of volunteers, it will be delivered to frontline territorial communities where humanitarian missions rarely reach, but people continue to live.

"The Trade Union’s Women’s Wing systematically provides assistance to orphanages and boarding schools to make the lives of their wards more comfortable. Since the full-scale war began, help for orphans has become especially urgent, as these children have no families to care for them or evacuate them to safety. Supporting children is our mission for years to come, an investment in Ukraine’s future, because the quality of life and sense of security of the little ones directly affects the future of our state," says Sofiya Cherepanova.
