New charity foundation for psychological rehabilitation of children who survived the Mariupol siege of 2022. Start 1 May 2026.
alyona alyona announced on 18 January 2026 the founding of the 'Mariupol Children Psychotherapy Foundation' (MCPF) — a charity organization for psychological rehabilitation of children who survived the Mariupol siege in March-May 2022. The foundation starts work on 1 May 2026 — on the anniversary of the evacuation of the city's last defenders. Foundation structure: 8 regional coordinators in 8 cities where evacuated Mariupol children live (Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro, Odesa, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia, plus 2 foreign — Poland Warsaw, Germany Berlin). Each coordinator maintains a registry of client-children and organizes psychotherapy sessions with qualified psychologists. The foundation is expected to serve 1200 children in the first year of work (approximately 8500 evacuated Mariupol children aged 6-18 by Ministry estimates). Foundation budget for 2026 — 18 million UAH, from which: 1) 40% — alyona alyona personally transfers from European tour fees; 2) 25% — from sales of Enko Records young rapper EP releases (see separate news); 3) 35% — from international donations and grants (UNICEF, World Vision). The budget includes a separate fund (5% of total) for special music-therapy sessions (where alyona alyona, Jerry Heil, and other Ukrainian artists come to children personally for meetings). The foundation will present its first quarterly report on 1 August 2026.
