Every Child Deserves a Future — You Can Help Bring Them Home
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, more than 19,000 Ukrainian children have been forcibly taken — separated from their families and sent to Russia, held in so-called “re-education” camps, or placed with Russian foster families in temporarily occupied territories.
Their childhoods have been stolen. Their identities are being systematically erased. But hope is growing, thanks to Save Ukraine.
We have witnessed remarkable success through our vital partnership with this Ukrainian-led organization. Together, through your generosity and the support, we have funded the rescue missions of 12 children from Russian captivity.
To date, more than 683 Ukrainian children — including nearly 150 orphans — have been brought home. Save Ukraine has developed a robust, highly specialized system for identifying, locating, rescuing, and rehabilitating abducted children. No two missions are the same. Each one is carefully planned and executed in total secrecy, tailored to the unique risks and circumstances of each child. Once rescued, each child receives psychological, medical, and social support to begin their healing journey alongside their families.
With your support in these final days of our campaign, Save Ukraine will be able to rescue more children from captivity, and provide them and their families with the care they urgently need to recover and reintegrate.
The Canada-Ukraine Foundation’s “Every Child Deserves a Future” campaign ends June 23. But for these children, the future is just beginning — if we act now.
