"Eco-life Zbruch" became one of the longest-running children's projects in Ukraine during the full-scale war.
More than 5 000 children of servicemembers rested for free at the Labaziuk family's camp in Khmelnytskyi region. The final shift of the season at the national-patriotic camp "Eco-life Zbruch" has concluded in Khmelnytskyi region. More than 100 children of servicemembers participated in it. According to the organizers, since the project launched in 2022 the camp has already hosted more than 5 000 children.
Parents do not pay for the vouchers: accommodation, meals, and the program are funded by the Labaziuk family charity fund "We Are Near." The camp was initiated by philanthropist Serhii Labaziuk. His idea is to give defenders' children at least one week in which the war does not define every day.
"As a father of two children, I understand that today we have a catastrophe with gadgets and they hardly communicate with each other. The aim here was to have communication, to have movement. These are sports, various game activities. And of course patriotism," says Serhii Labaziuk.
That's why at "Eco-life Zbruch" there are sports, swimming pools, quests, hikes, creative workshops, water activities, excursions, and evenings by the campfire.
One of the central elements is patriotic education: veterans and servicemembers come to the children, hold workshops, and simply talk with them about service, responsibility, and mutual support.
The "We Are Near" fund has been operating since 2012. Among its areas of work are assistance to the military with equipment, drones, communications, and medicines, support for hospitals, and projects for children.
