Arseniy Yatsenyuk Open Ukraine Foundation on the basis of earlier announced competition supported three local projects aimed at providing assistance to children of Ukrainian labour migrants. At the beginning of April Open Ukraine Foundation within the framework of its “Migration Today” program with the support of Victor Pinchuk Foundation announced a competition "Psychoemotional and Social Work with Children of Labour Migrants”. The purpose of this program is to provide social and psychological assistance to children of labour migrants in several regions of Ukraine.
Three branches of “Caritas Ukraine” Foundation became the winners of the competition: Local Caritas Skole Foundation, Ivano-Frankivsk Caritas Foundation, and Chernivtsi and Kolomyja Caritas of UGCC Foundation of the Diocese in Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.
In the course of the year the winners will organize children’s leisure time activities, as well as provide them with social and psychological support.
We invite the media to highlight the activities of these non-governmental organizations which take care of children of our compatriots – labour migrants.
You can also get acquainted with the numerous research materials on the major trends of Ukrainian labour migration conducted with the support of Arseniy Yatsenyuk Foundation, at http://www.openukraine.org/ua/programs/migration/research-program
We take this opportunity to remind that Open Ukraine Foundation has launched the Call Center at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine in July 2007, and funded its activity during two and a half years. The operators of the Call Center provided free telephone consultations to citizens on travelling abroad, visa-related issues, passport services and legal documents.
