Give the Gift of Healthy Exercise, Community, and Hope

In a time of war, when fear and uncertainty threaten to dominate childhood, sports offer more than just physical activity - they offer healing, structure, and joy. Physical exercise strengthens not only the body, but also the mind and spirit. It promotes emotional resilience, reduces stress, and builds confidence. For children living in war-torn regions of Ukraine, this kind of engagement is not just beneficial - it’s essential.

Through your support, HART is equipping local churches to run sports leagues and programs that reach vulnerable children – those who might otherwise be left on the streets, exposed to hopelessness, addiction, or exploitation. These programs create safe spaces where children can run, play, laugh, and grow – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

They not only improve their health but also encounter the love of Christ through coaches and volunteers who care deeply for them.

We also provide sports equipment to orphanages and summer camps – places where young lives are being restored, one day and one child at a time.

Your gift makes all this possible.

In the middle of conflict, sports can be a powerful tool for transformation – a place where children are reminded that they are still kids, still valued, and still full of potential.

Give children the opportunity to play. To heal. To belong.
