Caritas Czech Republic in Ukraine
My children also have the right to feel happy, says Natalia from Ukraine, who is raising two daughters with disabilities
5-year-old twins Valeria and Daryna have been in a wheelchair since birth. Every outing in their native Uzhhorod in western Ukraine is a challenge for them. “The streets and buildings are not well suited for people with disabilities, but my children need conditions for development, not isolation,“ says their mother Natalia. Thanks to Caritas Czech Republic, the city now has its first inclusive playground, giving Valeria and Daria a place to play, grow, and connect.
