Project Soniashnyk is a non-profit organization that hosts recreational rehabilitation camps in Ukraine for children whose parents are active or fallen members of their Armed Forces. In addition to traditional camp activities, the program provides essential trauma therapy and mental health support for children impacted by the war. Therapy and support continues throughout the year via group and individual counselling.
The camps and counselling are offered to families at no cost. Project Soniashynk is 100% volunteer-led which means all fundraising events and direct donations are used to cover program costs.
