Kharkiv district joined the new phase of the "Change of the Carpathians" project.
This gives children from the frontline areas the opportunity to change the environment for a certain time, rest, regain strength and be in a safer environment, distract from everyday worries and get new positive impressions.
During two days, 432 children from all regions of the region left Kharkiv Oblast for Transcarpathia. They will stay 21 days in the health camp.
These are children of military personnel, employees of the National Police of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, orphans and internally displaced children.
In the summer, the project to change the Carpathians has already proven its effectiveness. So 200 children from the Kharkiv region were given rest and recovery. According to the results, more than 70% of the children became calmer, their emotional state improved and the level of anxiety decreased.
I thank the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky for the initiative and the staff of the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine for implementing the project.
For our part, we provide all the necessary organizational support so that children can reach their resting place safely.
