Friends, the Emergency Humanitarian Aid Service announces the opening of the traditional collection for children of political prisoners “LET’S GET A CHILD TO SCHOOL”. This year the event is held for children of school and preschool age.
Many families of political prisoners experience financial difficulties: one or both parents are imprisoned and cannot provide for their relatives in freedom. Some families of political prisoners went abroad after their release and are faced with adaptation difficulties. Our help in preparing children for kindergarten and school will ease the financial burden for their families.
The traditional fundraising for children of political prisoners is organized by the Emergency Humanitarian Aid Service, which includes the BYSOL and Country for Life foundation, the public campaign BY_Help and the Dissidentby Initiative, as well as partners — the Association of Belarusian Businesses Abroad and the Association of Belarusians of America.
We encourage everyone to show solidarity and take part. The main condition is personal safety, so donate funds to this fundraiser only if you are outside of Belarus.
Family members of political prisoners who have children of preschool age, schoolchildren in grades 1-11, and one of the parents (or both) are or have been imprisoned can apply for help in collecting their children.
For each child we offer a payment of 100 euros. To receive assistance, you must complete an application by August 31, 2024. Please note that the form will be closed after the application deadline.
If you are concerned about your safety, you can contact any of the Emergency Humanitarian Aid Service organizations via Telegram.
We will definitely contact you and clarify the necessary information in correspondence.
According to the results of the previous “Children's Collection”, 6842 euros remained at the disposal of the “Emergency Humanitarian Aid” service. We will use this money for the “LET’S GET A CHILD TO SCHOOL” campaign.
