Participate in a Programme:
experience. Whether it is to give an hour of your time in the evening at home or a month working overseas or hosting a Child, giving your time to benefit others should leave you feeling happy that you made a difference. Chernobyl Children’s Trust is committed to putting joy into volunteering with our organisation to ensure that your experience is worthwhile and personally satisfying. There are numerous ways to volunteer and help us to help others.
Host Children for holidays:
Open your home for a recuperative holiday for children from Chernobyl-affected and disadvantaged areas of Belarus. This can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Usually in summertime, children are placed (in pairs) with host families as part of a group in various areas in Ireland for a period of two or four weeks. Weekly activities are organised by the local group and translators are available at all times. To take a child out of a contaminated area even for a few weeks can boost their immune system and generally instil a sense of positivity which can be lacking in many of these children’s lives. Naturally, all potential host families must undergo vetting procedures.

Nursing/Medical Volunteers:
We send volunteer medical professionals from Ireland to assist in the caring of children in our Belarusian home care programme for seriously-ill and profoundly disabled Children. Doctors, Nurses, Physiotherapists, Physical therapists, O.Ts and other qualified personnel, volunteer their time to travel for periods of one week at various times of year. All arrangements are made by Chernobyl Children’s Trust. Volunteers are asked to cover associated costs where possible. Proof of qualification is necessary in order to meet Belarusian regulations.
