Children who were living in an orphanage in Kropyvnytskyi (central Ukraine) were transported to Austria, thanks to the tireless work of Kleine Herzen, supported, in part, by funds donated to Neighbors Abroad.

In the wake of Russia’s shocking invasion of Ukraine, Neighbors Abroad moved quickly into action, partnering on a fund-raising campaign with Kleine Herzen (Little Hearts), which has operations in our German Sister City, Heidelberg. The non-profit already has an excellent track record for helping vulnerable children in Ukraine since 2007.

​Your tax-deductible donations are going directly to helping children who were marginalized even before this catastrophic invasion. This blog on the Kleine Herzen website offers an overview of the critical aid that is being provided with donations from our community (select English option). The page also includes a BBC video about the monumental work on behalf of orphans being spearheaded by Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Children's Rights, Mykola Kuleba. We are supporting his life-saving work through Kleine Herzen.
