One of the buildings in our space was hit by enemy Shahed drones and suffered catastrophic damage. We have completely lost the facility that previously used to house the Children’s Museum, a café and a kindergarten — a place where the youngest among us used to learn, play and smile. However, even amid the ruins, we refuse to lose faith — in kindness, in people and in the power of unity that can overcome anything.
On 22 October 2025, a building in Kharkiv, which hosted a childhood museum, a kindergarten and a café, was targeted by Shahed enemy drones.
The drone strikes almost completely destroyed the building, destroying all the facilities and equipment. However, thanks to the quick actions of the kindergarten staff and the availability of a safe shelter, none of the children were harmed. At the time of the attack, all 48 children were in the building’s shelter under the protection of their teachers.
To bring the kindergarten, Children’s Museum, and café back to life, we must take the following essential steps:
Our current goal is to raise 8 million Ukrainian uah cover all the basic needs for restoring the destroyed buildings.

Representatives of the kindergarten
Today, we dedicate every day to the development of modern education in Kharkiv. Not only as leaders, but also as mothers, we understand how important it is to create a safe, warm, and inspiring environment for raising children. And today, our common goal is to rebuild the Kharkiv kindergarten after the destruction so that children can learn, play, and laugh again every day.
Director of the Children’s Museum
The Children’s Museum was a place where childhood came alive — where everyone could remember their first notebook, first toy, the first school bell. We preserved the warmth of generations to remind both children and adults that childhood is our shared story, our roots that give us strength to move forward.
It was a space where families, students, and teachers gathered. Here, educational projects were born, children’s festivals came to life, and we spoke about love, care, and growth.
But you know, even among the ruins, I saw what truly matters — hope.
Hope that the sound of children’s laughter will return.
That once again, voices will echo through these halls, and children will run here freely, looking at the world with wide, curious eyes.
Restoring the destroyed museum, café, and kindergarten is not just about rebuilding the building; it is about bringing back warm gatherings for Kharkiv residents and childhood memories for dozens of children. With your help, we will be able to restore and make safer the place where city residents feel happy and acquire the necessary skills for further life in society.
In addition, the restoration of the kindergarten is a chance to preserve jobs for teachers and employees who give children care and love every day. It also means that parents will be able to work with peace of mind, knowing that their children are under the constant supervision of teachers. Every contribution you make is a step towards a renewed, safe children’s space that will restore children’s peace of mind, faith in goodness, and a happy childhood.
Therefore, our goal is to be able to continue providing children with quality care, a homelike environment, and an innovative approach to education.
