Our Story: Austrian Aid to Ukrainian Children

In 1996, on the 10th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, the Austrian environmental organization GLOBAL2000 launched a campaign to aid children who had been affected by the catastrophe and were receiving treatment in children’s hospitals in Kharkiv, Ukraine. 

Once launched, the initiative was highly successful and unstoppable. Christoph Otto, the ideological mastermind behind the project, rallied support from Austrian donors to help those in need. 

What started as a single initiative soon turned into a lifeline for children with severe chronic illnesses, orphans, and those from families facing difficult circumstances, particularly in the Luhansk and Kharkiv regions.

The organization’s focus has expanded beyond Chernobyl survivors to encompass children who require medical attention or support in general.
