About Help Us Help The Children
Help Us Help The Children (HUHTC), a project of the Children of Chornobyl Canadian Fund is a core group of volunteers helping over 30,000 orphans in Ukraine. For more than 12 years, 200 orphanages, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and clinics have benefited from supplies of medication, food, clothing, educational toys and materials with a value of over 15 million dollars Canadian.
After the Chornobyl disaster, thousands of children were orphaned or had extreme medical defects or other difficulties. Yearly, HUHTC offers a variety of relief efforts to help these children. Volunteers personally visit orphanages throughout Ukraine delivering medication, dental supplies, clothing and new shoes. Winter and summer camps are held to give children a chance to enjoy nature, and develop physical and spiritual activities related to daily living.
The Anti-Trafficking chapter mentors the children to the many dangers faced when they leave the orphanages such as prostitution and crime. Our Scholarship chapter gives funds to a number of orphan graduates to further their education and provide them with prospects of a better future.
In addition, our volunteers hold events to raise money for the orphans. This years’ Fundraisers included a Volunteer Night, Pre-Malanka Pub, Pub Night at the Golden Lion, 5th Annual Walk For Shoes, Church Collection, and airing of the W5 Documentary "The Lost Children".
The 13th anniversary Summer Camp continues to search for benefactors to help with our mission of improving the everyday quality of life and health of the orphans and creating opportunities for them to reach their maximum potential.
