16-year-old Ivan from Mariupol lost his parents in the war. Today, he is rebuilding his life with our support

We heard powerful explosions. We were told to pack our bags and leave,” recalls 16-year-old Ivan. He is one of 36 children evacuated by a Ukrainian couple in February 2022 from Mariupol and nearby villages before the Russians besieged the city and began to destroy it.

Ivan got back on his feet thanks to the support of his guardians and friends in a settlement built by Caritas Czech Republic in Transcarpathia.
