What We Do
The unique needs of this community are significantly underfunded. Our programs provide essential services to those that continue to be affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
Chernobyl Children’s Program
- We support the 100 children that call the orphanage in Slavutych home. Aged from a few months to eighteen years old, they were abandoned by their parents or rescued from abuse and neglect. We provide school supplies, household supplies, food and medicines. We also support the Children’s Rehabilitation Center, which provides physical therapy and remedial activities for over 200 children with physical and developmental challenges, every month.

Dogs of Chernobyl
- The pets of Chernobyl were left behind in the evacuated town of Pripyat during 1986 the emergency evacuation. Since then, the population has been somewhat controlled by an extermination program. Since our involvement in 2017, no cats or dogs of Chernobyl have been culled. We conduct sterilization clinics to reduce the population; provide vaccinations and medical care to strays; and provide food to the Dogs of Chernobyl year round.

Chernobyl Community Medical Fund

Our lifesaving Chernobyl Worker’s Medical Fund was the catalyst to found Clean Futures (link: About page) Fund. We support the ongoing medical needs of the men and women who bravely went to work every day in a high-risk environment to reduce the impact of the disaster.

Human Healthcare Fund
Dogs of Chernobyl
Chernobyl Children
Our lifesaving Human Healthcare Fund was the catalyst that led to the establishment of Clean Futures Fund. We support ongoing as well as acute medical needs of adults and children in need under the direction of our Ukraine-based medical director, Dr. Victoria Beznoshchenko. We have assisted current Chernobyl workers, retired workers, Chernobyl liquidators, as well as children. Since inception of the fund, CFF has disbursed over $50,000 USD in healthcare assistance.
The Dogs of Chernobyl are believed to be the descendants of dogs left behind during the evacuation of Pripyat in April 1986. Despite an initial attempt by Soviet authorities to kill the abandoned dogs, breeding was out of control. Since our involvement in 2017, no cats or dogs in the exclusion zone have been culled. We conduct sterilization clinics to reduce the population, provide vaccinations and medical care to strays, and provide food to the Dogs of Chernobyl. Under the leadership of our veterinary medical director, Dr. Jennifer Betz, we have successfully treated over 750 dogs and cats in the Chernobyl Exclusion zone.
We provide support to children that call the orphanage in Slavutych home. Aged from a few months to eighteen years old, they were abandoned by their parents or rescued from abuse and neglect. We provide school supplies, household supplies, food and medicines.
