About Us
Our Mission and Values
Zaporuka supports families with children affected by cancer and creates conditions for families to be together during treatment. Since 2008, the Foundation has been providing accommodation at the Dacha Center to families whose children receive treatment at the National Cancer Institute and the Okhmatdyt. Zaporuka provides them with medicines and medical supplies, with psychological and rehabilitation support. The Foundation supports hospitals and medical staff for children to have timely and high-quality medical care.
We believe in good and are guided by three values:
Humanness
Honesty
Efficiency
The Foundation is implementing its mission by supporting families with seriously ill children at the pediatric departments of the National Cancer Institute, the Institute of Neurosurgery and the Western Ukrainian Specialized Children’s Medical Center.
Child cancer is not just the story of a child, it is always the story of a family. Families that have children with cancer don’t receive any social and psychological support at the state level. Every family goes through difficult times in isolation. Friends are unable to see a familiar child fade away from cancer and drift apart, families are unable to withstand the cancer burden and fall apart, siblings are suffering from loneliness.
But it could be different. It should be different. We support such families, we create space for them, we share warmth and care, we bring back joy to their life and inspire recovery.
Being human is our life position: we are there for those who need us, we take care of them and help them.
Being honest – we report for every smallest contribution, this is the most important rule, observance of which allows us to be proud of our reputation.
Efficiency – we maximize good from every donation using it where it is the most needed.
