Binance Charity, the charitable arm of the prominent blockchain platform Binance, has partnered with the Children of Heroes foundation to offer assistance to children impacted by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This collaboration, revealed to Finbold on April 2, aims to organize a 12-day therapeutic retreat named “I am Da Vinci” for 50 children who have lost one or both parents due to the war in Ukraine.

The initiative plans to utilize 50,000 Tether (USDT) donated by Binance Charity, equivalent to 2,000,000 UAH, to facilitate the camp experience for these children. This marks a significant step in providing support and care for those affected by the crisis.

Objectives of "I am Da Vinci" Retreat

The primary goal of this endeavor is to create a nurturing environment where children can address their trauma effectively. The retreat will offer a range of activities and resources focused on emotional healing, building a sense of community, and providing psychological support to the participants.

Kyrylo Khomiakov, Binance’s Regional Head for CEE & Central Asia, emphasized the importance of easing the suffering of these children, expressing Binance's commitment to supporting initiatives that bring hope and relief to those in need. He highlighted the significance of providing compassionate assistance as a responsibility that the organization wholeheartedly embraces.

Specialized Psychological Support

Crucial psychological support will be available throughout the camp to help children process their emotions, understand their losses, and cope with the aftermath of their traumatic experiences. Tetiana Novytska, CEO of Children of Heroes, stressed the necessity of specialized support for children affected by the emotional toll of war, emphasizing the long-term impact if not addressed promptly.

The mission of the Children of Heroes foundation is to integrate beneficiaries into society and provide them with the necessary tools to lead successful lives. By organizing camps where children can work with psychologists to recover from their challenging experiences, the foundation aims to bring back smiles and joy to the faces of these children, ensuring they have the support needed to heal and thrive.

Through the establishment of a supportive environment, the program seeks to combat feelings of isolation and loneliness, fostering new and meaningful connections among children who have shared similar experiences. This initiative represents a crucial step in providing holistic care and support to the young victims of the conflict in Ukraine.
