History

The CHILD.UA Association started its activities with the Poglyad charity organization, which has been helping street children since 1999.[5] Volunteers of the charity found children in basements, sewers, heating mains and provided them with assistance: treated, organized meals in canteens and organized picnics with entertainment. Volunteers started social work with parents of children who found themselves in difficult life circumstances, as well as with children from orphanages and boarding schools.[6]

On 13 September 2004, International charitable organization "Poglyad" was officially registered.[7][8]

During the escalation of the war with Russia in the Donbas, Yevhenia Tymoshenko on the International Day of Peace founded and organized "The Voice of Peace", a charitable marathon in Ukraine that unites media, business, artists and public figures to volunteer to help former battalions and refugees.[9][10]
