Child-friendly space
Operates at:
- Zhovkva, Yevhenia Konovaltsia Square 11

The child-friendly space operates as a part of the NIN Protection project and aims to overcome the barrier of socialization for children whose families were forced to leave their homes due to the war. The project provides services of child psychologists, social educators and animators for children and adolescents to promote their psychosocial well-being and build and strengthen positive relationships between children and their parents, guardians and peers.
We hope that the seeds of care and kindness we sow in the hearts of young Ukrainians will bear the fruits of virtue and compassion in the future.
