The property was purchased for UAH 5 million from the state budget, with an additional UAH 500,000 provided by the Storozhynets community. A further UAH 1.2 million for renovation works was allocated by the Chernivtsi Regional Military Administration.
The furnishing of the home was supported by the NGO “Social Synergy”, UNICEF’s Representation in Ukraine, and the charitable foundations “Artania Ukraine” and “Partnership for Every Child”.
