НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Серпень 2025 9 Post-War Period: Social Welfare and Ongoing Humanitarian Initiatives Created in 1948, one of the UNWLA’s most enduring projects was the Mother and Child Fund, established to support the resettlement of displaced persons, par - ticularly mothers and children, who had been impact - ed by the war and the forced migrations that followed. The project included organizing a temporary residence in Philadelphia for widows and their children and form - ing a pre-school (Svitlychka) allowing mothers to pur - sue employment. This initiative not only provided im - mediate relief but continued for many years, creating a safety net for those in need domestically. In the decade between 1953 and 1963, the UNWLA sponsored pre-schools and schools of Ukrainian studies in Germany, Austria, and Bel - gium. The UNWLA’s proactive drive to help immi - grants maintain their Ukrainian identity and adapt in the countries they lived in was a significant ex - ample of its commitment to human rights and to the well-being of displaced Ukrainian populations. The Babusi Fund, created in 1953 to aid elderly wom - en with little means and no family in Ukraine, some of whom had been subjected to exile as young children, emerged during this period and continues to provide essential support at Easter and Christmas to this day. The Children of Chornobyl Fund, established to offer long-term support for the children affected by the 1986 Chornobyl disaster, was continued for many years. The UNWLA was also instrumental in initiating the first res - olution regarding nuclear accidents at the International Council of Women General Assembly in London. 1990-2010: Supporting Ukraine Through More Crises The 1990s and 2000s saw the continuation of the UNWLA’s commitment to social welfare, particu - larly for children and the elderly. The Milk and Buns Fund, initiated in 1999 to provide daily breakfasts to children in four cities in Ukraine, and the ongoing financial assistance for flood victims in the western regions of Ukraine begun in 2008 are among the key initiatives of this period. Another notable proj- ect was the Assistance and Caring for the Elderly initiative, which supported nursing homes and el - derly Ukrainians in need. These efforts remained steadfast even in the face of ongoing challenges in Ukraine’s political and social landscape. Humanitarian relief, 1927. Пакування гуманітарної допомоги, 1927 р.
