“I am Da Vinci” primary objectives
The primary objective of the initiative is to foster a supportive atmosphere to help children tackle their trauma.
The retreat will offer a diverse array of activities and resources, focusing on emotional healing, community building, and psychological support.
Kyrylo Khomiakov, Binance’s Regional Head for CEE & Central Asia, emphasized the importance of alleviating the suffering of children, stating:
“Every child deserves the love and security of a family. At Binance, we are more than willing to support initiatives aimed at alleviating their suffering and restoring hope. In every child we help, we see a brighter future not just for Ukraine, but for the entire world. Our commitment to providing compassionate assistance is not a choice, but a responsibility we wholeheartedly embrace.”

The importance of specialized support
Essential psychological support will be available throughout the duration of the camp to help participants process their emotions, comprehend their losses, and cope with the aftermath of their traumatic experiences.
Tetiana Novytska, CEO of Children of Heroes, highlighted the impact the war had on children’s emotional well-being, stressing the need for specialized support:
“The war has hurt the emotional and psychological state of children, especially those who are experiencing the loss of their loved ones. Our beneficiaries have faced various psychological traumas, and if they do not work with specialists now, the consequences can manifest themselves for years. The mission of our Fund is to ensure that all of our beneficiaries are integrated into society and have every opportunity to build a successful life. Therefore, organizing such camps, where children will work with psychologists and recover from difficult experiences, is one of the most crucial areas of our activity. We want to see the smiling faces of children who enjoy their childhood or youth again, not crying eyes, despair, and irritation. Children are our future, so we must care for them and provide all the support they need at the right time.”

By establishing a nurturing environment, the program aims to alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness, helping children form new, meaningful connections with others who share their experiences.
