New organizations have joined UCRN — the Network now unites 39 members.

On September 26, a meeting of the Board of the NGO “Ukrainian Child Rights Network” (UCRN) took place. Among the issues discussed were the expansion of the Network and the admission of four new members.

We welcome to the UCRN family the teams of the following organizations:

• Public Organization “See with the Heart”
  Implements projects aimed at the socialization and development of adolescents and young people with complex developmental disorders, provides psychological support to their families, and supports professionals working in this field. The organization works to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities and promote their inclusion in society through educational programs, art workshops, inclusive camps, and other initiatives.
  

• Charitable Organization “Caritas Kyiv”
  
  For over 30 years, Caritas Kyiv has been working to support children, protect their rights, and foster a healthy social environment. The Foundation is officially registered as a provider of social services and delivers assistance in line with national standards, with particular attention to children and the protection of their rights.
  
  Its key services include socio-psychological rehabilitation, integration and reintegration, social support for families, prevention programs, as well as adaptation and rehabilitation for individuals with intellectual and mental disabilities.
  In addition, Caritas Kyiv actively works on community development, strengthens access to quality social services, and advocates for the rights of vulnerable groups, especially children.
