For Children for the Future telethon has fulfilled two essential tasks. First, we raised funds to help a certain number of children during this challenging wartime. Secondly, we have involved 70 children in the creative process and let them feel some joy of recovery on stage. It was crucial for them. This telethon was a good start for our charity platform Dity.Help. We plan to develop this platform and create new projects - says Mykola Bagraiev, Founder of the Tavria Foundation.

Children for the Future telethon raised 2 138 000 UAH with the help of donations and patronage contributions.

For Children for the Future telethon was supported by the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine and the Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
