Why does «Save Kids UA» have to do this? Isn’t this the responsibility of the Ukrainian government?

 

The Ukrainian government has an obligation to take care of the people affected by the recent tragic events. However, there is never enough money to do everything we would like to do. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the range and complexity of the tasks that the Ukrainian government has to solve today, new insurmountable problems arise every day, which means that the assistance that the victims need so badly cannot always be provided effectively. Therefore, our project aims to provide additional support: to bring together non-governmental efforts of organizations and participants in the US, Canada, UK, EU countries, and other countries that are better equipped and have more resources to meet the needs of those who urgently need them.
