Summer Camp 2024
SUMMER CAMP 2024
We are so excited to announce our cornerstone project: SUMMER CAMP!
Help Us Help is thrilled to announce our upcoming summer camp, where 160 orphaned children from various regions of Ukraine will come together for a two-week, enriching experience.
At our camps, we focus on providing comprehensive support for the children, promoting their physical, psychological, and social well-being. Through a diverse range of activities, including hiking, computer workshops, dance lessons, folklore sessions, and arts and craft workshops, the children will have an opportunity to learn, grow, and have fun.
In addition to these activities, the children will receive free counseling and dental checkups from trained professionals throughout the duration, ensuring their health and well-being are taken care of. Our mission is to create a memorable and nurturing environment where these children can flourish and learn about their cultural heritage, while also experiencing the joy of the Carpathian mountains.

The Cause
Today there are an estimated 100,000 children living in 750 orphanages/institutions across Ukraine. This figure does not include those displaced as a result of russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine.

Only 8,000 are true orphans, the rest are socially orphaned (meaning that their caregivers are unable to care for them).
On average, 250 children enter the system each day, significantly more than the number graduating.
20% of children graduating the system end up in prison.
10% attempt or commit suicide.
Less than 1% make it to university.

WE CAN’T DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP!
Help Us Help has been running summer camps since 1996. Since then, we have received an overwhelming amount of support from our donors and volunteers.
This year, we ask you to do the same. Now, more than ever, these children deserve to feel the sense of normalcy and family that our camps provide. With your support, we can help 200 children escape the atrocities of this war, and let them be kids again.
