SpecialKidz International is raising urgent funds to support children and young people with SPECIAL NEEDS (Autism, Blindness, Deafness, Learning Disabilities, Speech/Language Disabilities, etc) and their families, who have become refugees as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

A great number of young children are at risk of exploitation due to having been forced out of their homes as a result of the Russian invasion. A proportion of these will have special needs, which significantly increases that risk.

Specialkidz International is dedicated to the safeguarding and protection of Special Needs children worldwide. We are deeply concerned for the safety and well-being of these refugees, and wish to liaise with other organisations like UNICEF, Plan International and many more who are dedicated to providing what is required.

Your DONATION will help ensure that humanitarian action will be available to ensure support for Special Needs Children & Young People.
