In Kherson region will continue to develop a system of support for orphans

The Kherson region will continue to improve the system of assistance to children left without parental care and families in difficult life situations. In the region, the work of municipal guardianship bodies and programs to support foster families are expanding, the regional administration reports.

Since the beginning of 2026, the powers of guardianship and guardianship have been transferred to municipalities. This makes it possible to address the protection of children's rights directly on the ground and organize targeted support for families.

There is also a school of adoptive parents. Future adoptive parents and guardians are helped to understand the legislation, features of child psychology and adaptation of the child in the family.

The provision of housing for orphans remains a priority. In May, the regional authorities reported 53 children needing housing. A specialized housing fund is being formed to address this problem.

Charitable organizations also provide assistance. In particular, the humanitarian mission “March of Peace” in March delivered food, medicines, clothes and other necessary things to more than 4,000 children and 300 large families of the Aleshkin and Golopristan districts.
