I welcome the new partners of @Zelenska_FND – Direct Relief, led by CEO Amy Weaver. Yesterday, we signed a $750,000 cooperation agreement. In 2027, these funds will help develop the Schools of Superheroes and psychosocial support programs for children. We plan to open five more educational spaces in hospitals and continue programs for children who need recovery and the opportunity to spend time with their peers. Childhood cannot be postponed until the war is over. I am grateful to Direct Relief for their trust and willingness to work together to create space for learning, development, and a better future.

Плануємо відкрити ще п’ять освітніх осередків у лікарнях і продовжити програми для дітей, які потребують відновлення та можливості бути серед однолітків. Дитинство не можна відкласти до завершення війни. Дякую Direct Relief за довіру й готовність разом створювати простір для навчання, розвитку та кращого майбутнього.
