The Charity Foundation Road for Good (Doroga Dobra) has been founded as the organization which helps protect Ukrainian children from the after-war effects and to assist the civilians of Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine.
Comprehensive support for young children and teenagers is an integral part of returning to a peaceful life. Unable to influence politics, children find themselves innocent bystanders of all the horrors of war. We want to help children who have become victims of the war in Eastern Ukraine reclaim their childhood and have hope for the future.

“devotion to the principles of independence, freedom and democracy, respect to the human rights, solidarity with everybody, who stands for elimination of dictatorial regime and restoration of democracy in Belarus”.
