The war has taken away childhood from Ukrainian children – <\/em>more than 5,000 have lost their parents and hundreds have been wounded.<\/em><\/a> Beginning in March these children have been receiving comprehensive support from the fund \u201cChildren of Heroes\u201d<\/a><\/strong>. As part of EPAM\u2019s ongoing support, earlier this month EPAM Ukraine donated $100,000 to the \u201cChildren of Heroes\u201d charity fund to help provide Ukrainian children with education, warm clothing, medical and psychological assistance, and long-term assistance.<\/em><\/p>\n

Katia, an 8-year-old girl from Bucha<\/strong>, a ward of the fund, lost her dad to a rocket strike on their house. Her mother has been fighting cancer for many years. Now they are to fight yet another enemy \u2013 the cold winter. Katia\u2019s story is just one of many from the 1,300+ wards of the fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, the phrase \u2018children of the war\u2019 is becoming a common term in Ukraine. Thousands of children have had their childhood taken\u2014losing family members, their homes, their schools, and hundreds losing their lives. The sadness and tragedy are beyond words. At EPAM, we stand with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. We have a long history of supporting education programs and the children in our communities. However, today, due to the war, we understand that Ukraine\u2019s children need more of our assistance and need it urgently. That is why we are supporting the \u2018Children of Heroes\u2019 fund.\u201d<\/em> – said Natalia Koliadko, director of talent management at EPAM Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All of the Fund\u2019s efforts are directed at forming a strong and healthy Ukrainian society. The Fund includes several lines of assistance: urgent material and psychological help, regular assistance, education and development, health protection, socialization, and mentorship. In addition to the urgent response, the Fund also provides long-term assistance for children through their growth into adulthood as well as providing opportunities for internship and work when the children grow up. The Fund addresses the needs of every child individually, no matter who they are.<\/p>\n
