US/International

Chernobyl Children International was founded in Ireland in 1991. Over the years we have grown a strong, dedicated volunteer base across the country. Now, with an office in Northport, NY, we are extending the call for volunteers and fundraisers to the United States and internationally. CCI is a non-profit organisation with United Nations NGO status and 501c3 tax status in the US.

We invite businesses, corporations and individuals around the world to join us in bringing hope and support to the children and communities devastated by the Chernobyl disaster. Your efforts are needed to raise funds and deliver critical services to people living in the most radioactive environment in the world.

Fundraising: There are hundreds of ways to raise money for our important work: fun-runs, bake sales, fashion shows, raffles and more.

Every little bit helps: raise just €1,000 (about USD$1,400) and you can sponsor a child’s life-saving cardiac surgery!

Medical Programme: Use your medical expertise to provide much-needed care to the children of Belarus. This programme sends health-care professionals abroad to deliver life-saving medical care, therapies, mental health treatment, dental and hospice care. People with no medical training can also participate as care assistants to accompany monthly medical teams to Belarus or provide care to sick children attending in-country.

Building and Construction Programme: Use your construction skills to build homes and care facilities for the children of Belarus. This programme sends builders, carpenters, electricians and other construction tradespeople to Belarus to build, refurbish and renovate orphanages, mental asylums, independent living facilities, community day-care centres and foster homes. You can help rebuild a shattered community and put a roof over a child’s head.
