The most important thing a dad taught his daughter took just 17 seconds.
He said only: ‘I know you can do this.’

Our Ukrainian dads in the army can’t be near their children every day.
But their love and influence shape their children’s lives forever.

On Father’s Day, we honor all dads —
those at home, and those defending their families on the front lines.

And we thank our friends and donors who help Ukrainian children find support, safety, and hope.
Sometimes, one kind act becomes the moment that changes a life forever.

32 years ago, Radooga began serving orphans and children in vulnerable circumstances. We never thought we would serve refugees -- that was not even on our radar. But today, we are here: in the midst of the largest war in Europe since World War II. Now we serve refugees and children from internally displaced families.

Please pray for the people of Ukraine -- for a just peace and for the rebuilding of Ukraine, from one person to the entire nation.

No one should ever be forced to choose between safety and home.

Today, on World Refugee Day, we express solidarity with millions of people worldwide who have been forced to flee war, violence, and persecution.

Earlier this week, together with УВКБ ООН в Україні, we marked the occasion with a photo exhibition dedicated to the stories of those who have endured displacement and rebuilt their lives in Ukraine.

For Ukraine, this day carries special meaning as Russia’s aggression continues to force our people from their homes and separate families.

We are grateful for the support extended to Ukrainians around the world and will continue working with our partners to support those affected by Russia’s aggression and help restore what war has taken from millions of Ukrainians - their homes, their communities, and their sense of security.

Because the true measure of peace will be the day Ukrainians can live freely and safely in their own homes again.

Tomorrow is a big day.
Three Radobot Online Games winning teams will represent Radooga and their cities at the National Robotics Olympiad in Kyiv.

Yegor and Nastia from Bila Tserkva
Katia and Liza from Pivdenne
Petro and Oleksandr from Berezhany

Six children. Six lives. And for each of them, this moment can become a turning point.

For one team, this is a second chance to compete for the national title. For another, it will be their very first experience at this level. But for all of them, this is more than a competition.

Yes, they will build and program robots. But even more importantly, they will learn courage, teamwork, and resilience under pressure. They will face strong teams from all over Ukraine, and they will also learn to trust God, overcome fear, and grow in character.

Their teachers will be there with them, not only to help them compete, but to model a biblical way of working hard, responding with grace, and learning from both success and disappointment.
We are so proud of our winners — they are already winners in our eyes. May God give them courage, focus, and joy as they take this next step.

And to all our other children who will be cheering them on: keep going. Pray, work hard, trust God, and know this — next year, it could be your turn.

June is Great Outdoors Month, but Ukraine isn’t just what many people expect.
For many outside the country, the first image that comes to mind is war.

That reality is true, but it is not the whole picture.

Ukraine can look like a desert in the Oleshky Sands.
It can turn pink in the salt lakes of the south.
It can feel like another world in the misty Carpathians.

At Radooga, we see the same contrast in our children's lives. So we believe God meets them even in the hardest places.
Through His truth and hope, healing can begin.

Meet David — a sweet 9-year-old from an internally displaced family in Dnipro. At first, he was quiet and only interested in building robots. The Bible lessons didn’t catch his attention, and he always rushed through the spiritual parts.

Over time, something beautiful began to happen. Through the love of our Christian leaders and Bible stories at Radobot, David slowly opened up. He started asking questions, remembering stories, and even talking about God.

Then came the moment that changed everything. During a Bible lesson, David stopped me and said, “I made a mistake in my drawing. I forgot to include God — the most important part of my life.”

Today, David prays before competitions, asking God for strength — and he often wins! The boy who once kept everything inside now sees God as essential and shares his heart more openly.

Seeing David’s heart open to God is one of the greatest joys we have. This is why we do what we do. ❤️

P.S. Based on the pictures, can you guess David's hobby? Write in comments!

This is us - the Radooga team. Once, we were just children. Today, we are adults who want to help Ukrainian children keep their childhood, even in the middle of war.

God has led each of us on a unique path and brought us to a shared calling: to create safe places for children, filled with love, acceptance, God’s Word, and a chance for healing.

Swipe through the carousel: behind every childhood photo is the story of a person who now walks alongside children in Radooga’s clubs, camps, and programs.

By day, many Ukrainian children walk to school, play with friends, and smile for photos: just like kids anywhere. By night, they listen for sirens, spend hours in shelters, and try to sleep through the sounds of war. Over the last few years, children here have spent more than a month of their lives underground.

Radooga’s clubs and camps give them places to be children again: to play, to process, and to meet Jesus amid the chaos. If you’re looking for a way to respond to this war with love, we invite you to join us in caring for them.

Stas‘ story isn’t easy, and there are no quick fixes. But we’ve seen again and again how a safe, welcoming place can make all the difference for a child—and even their whole family.

We’re so glad Stas is part of our team. Here, he meets other Ukrainians, feels at home, is accepted for who he is, and gets truly involved.

We look forward to bringing hope and a better world to many more children affected by war and the loneliness that comes with it.
