Topicality
The estate with a large adjacent plot of land was donated to the "Smile as a Gift" organization by a local woman, a nun of the Roman Catholic Church of Bulets Morika, who dedicated her life to God and became a Carmelite sister in the monastery of the Bosi Carmelitka OSD.
In 2010-2017, in this building with the strong support of prof. Volodymyr Krchmera, the Children's House of St. Elizaveta. As the children gradually grew up, this spacious building remained unused. With the escalation of the military conflict, we started a rapid reconstruction of the building so that 24 children from Mariupol and their foster parents and teacher volunteers, as displaced persons, could use it as a new safe home as soon as possible.
Today they live in this 8-bedroom family home with a large kitchen and four full social rooms. The children are under the care of a professional family - a couple who have passed training in custodial parenting in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine, intended for children who live outside their own biological family. Each child is entrusted to this family by the relevant decisions of local Ukrainian courts. The Regional Service for Children of the Zakarpattia Oblast carries out the duties and supervision of the guardianship of this professional family.
Expected result
We want to provide conditions and a safe home for this group of children from Mariupol, who lost the greatest security in their lives due to the war, namely their biological family. By renovating the attic, we can provide children with a more comfortable space for everyday life, and at the same time create for them the feeling of a real home, having their own space. The front of this existing house needs insulation due to high energy losses.




By building 12 mobile homes in the surrounding area, we will increase the capacity of IDPs by 60 places and thereby give the opportunity to other residents of Ukraine who are fleeing the war to get temporary housing and a roof over their heads. These living quarters - modular houses will serve their purpose even after the end war, and we plan to continue using this property for displaced warriors and their families who will need professional help to recover from the trauma of war.
All modular houses will be provided with all the necessary communications (electricity, water supply and drainage), equipped with everything necessary (furniture, electrical appliances). Improvements to the surrounding area will also be made.
