THE SOURCE OF HOPE CENTRE FOR DISABLED CHILDREN
Korosten, Ukraine
In 2019 Chernobyl Children's Lifeline will be raising funds and promoting initiatives to help those who need it most.
We would like to improve the lives of the disabled children attending the Source of Hope Centre for Disabled Children in Korosten.
The vision for our next project is to improve quality of live for disabled children at home and to improve communication for children within the centre. We will work building partnerships with the local council and NGOs and help staff to improve on techniques, helping children reach their full potential.
Read on and contact us to learn how you can become part of the change.
Chair for Dima
Dima is 12 and is physically disabled. He is unable to sit unaided and has spent most of his life being cared for by his mother, on the floor of their home. We would like to buy Dimas a chair for a more comfortable position at home giving him the opportunity to spend some time sitting up.
​
Communication for Non-Verbal Children
We have many children at the centre with Autism and Global Delay which means they are non-verbal. We were really pleased to have had a meeting with the parents and staff at the centre who understand the positive impact new ways of communication will have on their children. We are looking to introduce Speech Therapy though mobile applications and the creation and use of Ukrainian type Makaton.
Therapy Volunteers urgently required
We are looking at ways to help staff and parents learn about different techniques to help children to their fullest potential.
​
We would welcome professionals who will be able to work with our staff and children through training and new techniques.
