Friendship Boxes – children helping Ukraine children
Friendship Boxes are filled with educational and recreational items by local junior schoolchildren, with the help of parents and teachers, and delivered to Ukraine in time for Christmas. There, local Rotarians distribute the contents to children most affected by the war.
As with most of our international giving, the money or goods are handled by Rotarians in the UK or by Rotarians and other trusted agencies in the receiving countries. That way, we know our aid will reach the people who need it.
