Nadija - Children's Foundation

The need for mental and physical rehabilitation for war-affected children in Ukraine is urgent. At Nadija Children’s Hospital and Research Institute, we are committed to making an immediate and lasting impact. We are currently fundraising €10M to provide essential care to up to 1.5 million affected children. Our vision follows a three-stage approach: starting with a Virtual Hospital to quickly deliver accessible mental health services, followed by a Research Institute to spread the best European rehabilitation practices and advance new knowledge. Ultimately, we will establish a Physical Rehabilitation Hospital that will not only treat children directly but also serve as a long-term hub for pediatric psychiatric care, trauma recovery, and medical rehabilitation, fostering deeper community support and recovery. In partnership with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Lviv Medical University (LMU), we aim to create a Center of Excellence (CoE) in Lviv, offering solutions that are scalable within Ukraine and replicable internationally. Founded by Nordic foundations and companies, the Foundation for Children’s Hospital and Research Institute Nadija is led by a Board of Directors from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
