Friends of Chernobyl's Children
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friends of Chernobyl's Children (UK) is a charity founded in 1995 that brings children, who are at risk, from Belarus to the United Kingdom for a month every year. The charity is named after the Chernobyl disaster of 1986. It is one of the oldest of the 20 Chernobyl-named charities[1] registered with the Charity Commission.
Each year over 1,000 children come over to Britain from orphanages or disadvantaged homes. They are also given a full year's supply of vitamins and medicine for them and, if money allows, other members of their family.[citation needed]
