The Foundation’s primary objective is to promote essential medical, material, social and welfare support for children in the Ukraine who are the long-term victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 26th April 1986 and orphans with damaged immune systems.

- The organisation of cross-cultural exchanges under which British children can visit Ukrainian children.
- Establishing relations with volunteers and charitable organisations to promote the work of the Foundation in England and Ukraine.
- Raising funds for the Foundation to carry out its work and achieve its objectives.
