How Can You Support Children with Disabilities in Ukraine?

Every child deserves to be seen, loved, and supported—especially those living with disabilities. But in Ukraine, children with disabilities often face overwhelming barriers. Many families are left without access to the medical, emotional, or social support they need.

At Mission to Ukraine (MTU), we believe every child is created in the image of God. That’s why we’ve served children with disabilities in Ukraine for over 25 years—offering therapy, medical care, community, and hope.

Here’s how you can get involved and make a real impact.

What Challenges Do These Children Face?

Children with disabilities in Ukraine often experience:

  • Limited access to healthcare or therapy
  • Social stigma or isolation
  • Exclusion from education and community life
  • Poverty, especially in families with high care needs

Many families want to provide better care but don’t know where to turn. That’s where Mission to Ukraine steps in.

Our Response: How Mission to Ukraine Supports Children and Families

Mission to Ukraine provides free, individualized support for over 600 children with disabilities and their families each year. Our approach is relational, holistic, and gospel-centered.

We offer:

  • Medical and Physical Therapy

Children receive consistent therapy tailored to their developmental needs—from physical therapy to occupational support.

  • Emotional and Psychological Support

Caregivers often carry immense stress. We provide trauma-informed care and counseling for both children and parents.

  • Community and Inclusion

We invite families into a life-giving community that sees, values, and embraces every person—regardless of ability.

  • The Hope of Christ

We don’t just serve physically—we pray, share, and walk with families in faith.

“MTU changed our family’s life. For the first time, we felt seen—not just our child’s disability, but our story.” – Parent Testimony

All of our services are free—and that’s only possible because of donors like you.

  • Equip parents with tools and support
  • Share the love of Christ in a tangible way

Your support helps break cycles of isolation and replaces them with dignity, healing, and hope.
