About Us

Our Story

The social project "Come out and play!" was initiated in June 2022 in Bucha and Irpin as a response to the challenges these cities faced after liberation: primarily, restoring the emotional state and helping children adapt after living under occupation.
In November 2022, the "Come Out and Play" NGO was officially registered.

Our Goals

  • Emotional recovery and adaptation of affected populations in liberated and frontline cities

  • Protection of rights and social support for affected populations in these areas

  • Organizing recreation and promoting a culture of volunteerism among children impacted by the war

Our Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals

Our organization contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations. By promoting the physical, psychological, and social development of children, fostering equality, and supporting peacebuilding and community development in areas that have experienced occupation and conflict, we align our work with these global goals.
