What is Pink Panama 2025?

Since June 2025, the “Pink Panama” project has been changing its concept of work. We still love children and are waiting for them in our space. Social educators invite them to development classes, to the teenage club, to activities outside the premises: on excursions, hikes, to game tournaments. Our address is changing. Today it is Khersonska, 5, the premises of the children's hub, located in a bomb shelter, safe and adapted for conducting classes with children.

What is Pink Panama 2025?

"Pink Panama" is a project by a team of professionals who share common values ​​of protecting childhood and the future generation. Our main goal is to support children at all stages of their development so that they have the opportunity to live a full childhood, despite the difficult circumstances of war.

The war has changed the childhood of many Ukrainian children. They know what an “air raid” is, how to find a bomb shelter, and how to protect themselves in conditions of uncertainty. They have experienced many hardships, from losing their homes to fearing for the safety of their families.

Ukrainian children were forced to grow up unfairly fast. Therefore, the goal of Pink Panama is to give children back their childhood and the opportunity to live a full life, find new friends and a new social group.

Since the war started in 2022, we have had the opportunity to see how children grow up in war and what they and their parents need, what support is needed at each stage of child development. Now we have 3 main components: support for education (preparation for school, support at school), development (art therapy, workshops, introduction to professions), development of emotional intelligence (program of social and emotional training, communication).

The main goal of the Pink Panama project is to provide comprehensive support and promote the healthy psychophysical development of children affected by the war in Ukraine. The project aims to make children feel safe, overcome trauma, socialize and find their role in society. The ultimate goal is to help children become active and responsible members of society who contribute to the development of the country.

We believe that children are our future. We want these future adults to be able to realize themselves in society. To be self-confident people who know themselves and get along with others. People who had a happy childhood despite the most terrible circumstances that surrounded them.

At the time of the application, we already have a component for preschool children. We ask for support for work with school-age children and adolescents. Currently, the project works half a day for toddlers, because we do not have the opportunity to accept more children. In case of funding, we will be able to cover older children for the next 4 months.
