Begleitung der Waisenkinder Mentoren für ukrainische Waisenkinder
Germany
The project “Mentors for Ukrainian Orphans” was launched in 2022 by the Munich-based association Take my hand e.V. to support children and adolescents from a Ukrainian orphanage after their arrival in Germany following their escape from the war.
These children have physical and intellectual disabilities and have experienced multiple forms of trauma caused by the loss of their families, war, and displacement. Each child participating in the project is paired with a dedicated volunteer mentor who spends individual time with them once a week—through conversations, playing together, learning activities, or simply being there for them.
The mentors provide emotional stability, guidance, and support the children’s social integration.
The mentors are carefully selected, trained, and provided with ongoing psychological support by the association.
The mentors volunteer their time and services, while the association covers all related expenses, including hygiene products, educational materials, and gifts for the children.
Meaningful and lasting relationships are built with the refugee children, founded on trust and reliability.
