Help save children’s lives in Ukraine

Help save children’s lives in Ukraine

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion in early 2022, almost two-thirds of Ukraine's children have been forced to flee their homes. Many of these children have endured severe trauma and face ongoing disruption to every element of their childhoods.

The city of Lviv has become a center for these displaced children, fleeing from all over the country to seek safety and care. During this time, many hospitals have stood strong amidst incredible challenges, offering healthcare to those in desperate need thanks to the dedication of their health workforce and the incredible perseverance of their physicians and nurses.

In these past 2 years, their demand for surgical care has increased immensely. These hospitals receives patients daily, often arriving in desperate need of emergency surgery. On top of that, the country has only two tertiary burn centers and receives vast war trauma, which left untreated, can cause a lifetime of suffering, disability or death.

Despite their incredible efforts, these teams are held back by the resources they've been left with. Old infrastructure, poor ventilation, lack of space, and equipment all mean their capacity for care is challenged.

You can help save children's lives in Ukraine. 

Despite over fifty trained pediatric surgeons and anesthetists at Saint Nicholas Children’s Hospital in Lviv, the old infrastructure, startling lack of resources, and shortage of equipment is resulting in a new threat for the children of Ukraine: lack of access to safe surgery.

In collaboration with partners, Kids Operating Room is looking for investors wishing to prevent countless Ukrainian children from dying needlessly.

We would like to install six new state-of-the-art pediatric Operating Rooms within the hospital, in a space that is currently lying empty and unused due to lack of resources. Installing our unique Solar Surgery System would mean operations don’t have to stop amid the relentless power outages the country faces.

These additional facilities will allow the hospital to increase its capacity by over 30% and perform over 12,000 cases per year. Renovations to the space and improved ventilation will also drastically cut down on respiratory infections and improve survival rates.

To do this, we need your help. Please join us in creating a lasting legacy of hope and relief for some of the world’s most vulnerable children.

For children in Ukraine, their lives are at increasing risk. The Ukraine Children's Action Project (UCAP) is working to ensure that their children have access to the vital resources they need to stay safe in the face of war and devastation.

Our joint mission is to ensure health, well-being and education for these children who have been separated from their families, homes and communities.

We are excited to partner with such a dedicated organization on this project and hope you will join us in supporting this life-saving project.
