Why it matters

A family should not have to piece support together

When a child needs care, developmental sessions and social contact, and the adults need support and time for everyday tasks, fragmented services add to the burden. We organize help around the needs of each family: we set goals, draw up a route and stay in touch through one coordinator.

What the program includes

Support that works together

Six components joined by one route. The actual set of services depends on individual needs and the program’s resources.

For families in Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast raising children aged roughly 3–10 with disabilities or developmental delays who need several interconnected kinds of support.

Expected changes

The result is more than the number of sessions

For the child

New opportunities to develop communication, everyday living skills and interaction.

A clear support route, agreed goals and fewer scattered requests.

Each family’s progress is assessed individually; the same results are not guaranteed for every child.

Important to know

Frequently asked questions

Can we apply if our child already attends day care?

Yes, to discuss your needs first. The team will check which components are already covered and decide whether additional support is needed, without double funding.

Will every family get the same package?

No. The program provides an individual route. The content, scope and schedule of support depend on the needs assessment and available resources.

Is free participation guaranteed?

No. Free participation and the specific scope of support depend on the funding raised and the selection criteria.

The program is preparing for its pilot. Publishing this page is not an announcement of open enrolment. The list and scope of support depend on the family’s needs, the team’s capacity and confirmed funding. The same services are never paid for twice from different sources.
