Lutsk, Ukraine 2025

About this project

Since its inception, Sports for Children has placed a strong focus on Eastern Europe. Gymnastics and physical education are still practiced enthusiastically in this region, closely resembling our approach to physical education in The Netherlands—so our materials are put to excellent use.

But our gym and athletics equipment often reaches truly special places! With the help of a partner foundation, we ensured that the equipment arrived exactly where it was most needed in Ukraine: at five schools and two rehabilitation centers supporting injured soldiers and citizens with disabilities.

Education and rehabilitation deserve support everywhere—especially in times of crisis. With this initiative, we hope to contribute in a small way to a brighter future for the children and young people of Lutsk.

Education and rehabilitation deserve support, especially in times of crisis and recovery.
