A Joyful Childhood Without Limits: A Celebration for Children in the Rozhyshche Community

The “Joyful Childhood Without Limits” event became a heartwarming occasion for children and their families in the Rozhyshche community of Volyn region.

The event was part of the advocacy campaign of the international project “Multi-sectoral Disability-Informed Humanitarian Assistance for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Returnees, Veterans and Host Communities in Ukraine”. The aim of the project is to improve the living conditions of people with disabilities, ensure accessibility in small towns and villages, and raise public awareness on this topic.

This event once again reminded us that a happy childhood is the right of every child, and a community that supports equality and openness only strengthens its values.
