Children of Ukrainian soldiers from Kramatorsk and Odessa in Israel: support, recreation and cultural enrichment thanks to the funds “Help People Group Foundation” (Ashdod) and “Spadschina Maybutnoho” (Kyiv)

From March 11 to 23, 2025, a group of children of Ukrainian soldiers from Kramatorsk and Odessa is in Israel as part of a humanitarian project. The support of the Israeli community and various cultural events help the children feel warmth and safety.

Israel and Ukraine: Humanitarian Support Vectors

Interaction between Israel and Ukraine continues to develop, especially in the field of humanitarian aid and cultural exchanges. One such vivid example is the stay of children of soldiers from Kramatorsk and Odessa in Israel from March 11 to 23, 2025.

This project became possible thanks to the work of the “Help People Group Foundation” from Ashdod (Israel) (Igor Kuchyn, Founder, Director, CEO) and the “Spadschina Maybutnogo” Charity Foundation from Kyiv (Ukraine), with the support of the Embassy of Ukraine in Israel.

This is not the first such visit of Ukrainian children — we already wrote in June 2024 -“A rehabilitation camp for children of fallen Ukrainian soldiers has started in Israel — organizer Help People Group“.

Now, in the context of the ongoing conflict, such initiatives are of particular importance as they help children not only survive the trauma of war but also receive necessary psychological support, as well as get acquainted with the culture and history of Israel.

Program of Children’s Stay in Israel

Since March 11, 2025, the children have been actively participating in a program that includes both educational events and relaxation. The visit is organized in such a way that the children can not only learn about the history of Israel but also get unforgettable impressions from cultural events and recreation.

• ANU Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv: the children have already had the opportunity to learn about the history of the Jewish people, its connections with Ukraine and other countries of Eastern Europe. The museum exhibits allow the children to understand the importance of preserving cultural traditions.
• Planetarium of Netanya: as part of the program, the children have already participated in scientific activities — designing rovers, observing the stars through telescopes, and exploring the sky with virtual reality glasses.
• Excursions to historical landmarks of Israel: the children visit iconic places in Israel, such as Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and learn about the rich history of the country.

In addition, the children have visited many other interesting and educational places, such as historical and cultural sites, where they have learned about important events that played a role in the establishment of Israel. These activities not only help the children expand their horizons but also make them feel the support and care of the Israeli community.

Psychological assistance is also an important element of the visit. Special groups have been organized for the children, where they can discuss their experiences and feel supported in a safe atmosphere.

Cultural Program and Integration into Israeli Society

One of the main moments of the visit for the children was getting to know Israeli culture. It is important that the program includes not only excursions but also meetings with local residents and introductions to Israeli traditions. For example, the children have already visited the ANU Museum of the Jewish People, where they got acquainted with the history of the Jewish people and its connection to Ukraine.

The project organizers emphasize that the goal of the program is not only to show Israel as a beautiful country but also to strengthen the children’s sense of safety and support. This project gives the children a chance not only to relax but also to learn something new, and most importantly, to feel that they are supported and cared for.

Support of Israelis for Ukrainian Children

The project would not have been possible without the active participation of Israelis. Local residents and organizations became involved in organizing events, helping to create an atmosphere of hospitality and safety for the children. It is important to note that these initiatives not only help the children recover but also strengthen solidarity between the two nations.

The organizers emphasize that these meetings give both children and adults a chance to understand how important it is to support each other in such difficult times. Israel and Ukraine are united not only by history but also by the desire for peace and stability.

Open Hearts and Important Meetings

The arrival of the children in Israel became an important event for the local community. These meetings are not just exchanges of visits, but a real opportunity for children to feel care and support. In such conditions, they can not only learn about a different culture but also see how to overcome difficulties while staying strong.

The organizers note that such events help not only the children but also the Israelis understand how important it is to be there for each other and support one another. This experience will stay with the children for life.

The Importance of Such Projects for Israel-Ukraine Relations

Projects like the arrival of the children play an important role in strengthening relations between Israel and Ukraine. It is important to note that such initiatives help not only the children but also adults feel support and confidence that even in the most difficult situations, help and understanding can be found.

The organizers emphasize that for them, this is not just humanitarian aid but an important step in strengthening relations between the two nations. They are building bridges of friendship and are confident that the children are teaching us to appreciate peace, and such projects cannot be overestimated.

Conclusion

The interaction between Israel and Ukraine is becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of humanitarian aid and cultural exchanges. The arrival of children from Kramatorsk and Odessa in Israel is a vivid example of how, even in the most difficult times, we can support each other.

“Help People Group Foundation” and “Spadschina Maybutnogo” Charity Foundation have done an incredible job, providing the children from Kramatorsk with the opportunity to experience Israeli culture and receive moral support.
