The charity is organised by volunteers to help children of Belarus.
Following the accident at Chernobyl in April 1986, the republic of Belarus, a former
Soviet Republic, received 70% of the radioactive fall-out caused by the explosion,
which created contamination 90 times greater than that of Hiroshima.

Investigations have shown that a child removed from the contaminated areas for
one months respite care, suffers fewer ailments during the winter months.
These children are in need of proper nutrition in order to strengthen
their immune systems to minimize the physical and
psychological effects of the nuclear disaster.

MISSION STATEMENT

Raise funds to provide respite care in the Ribble Valley and South Ribble area for Belarusian children, removing them from the continual long-term exposure to radiation caused by the Chernobyl Disaster of 1986.

Encourage families to become host families, providing one-month accommodation in a safe and caring family environment.

Help further the education of visiting children by including educational outings during their visit.

Provide dental checks, treatment, eye test and spectacles.

Provide one year’s supply of multi vitamins to supplement
the poor quality of food and diet in Belarus.
