“Children need to be able to form an attachment to at least a single adult,” said John Williamson, an American social worker who worked for more than 40 years on programs for children outside family care and was a consultant for organizations including the U.N. Orphanage director Andriy Pechenyi said it housed about 110 people before the war, a mix of disabled children and adults. A former comedian, he said he and President Zelenskiy had been part of the same comedy troupe, although at different times. He took up this role in 2021 to help with reforms.
Irina Nikolaeva Ogurtsova, the defectologist who worked with Tanya, said children in Odesa attended three 35-minute classes a week, mostly speech therapy and communication. The rest of the time they joined in other activities – gardening, sewing, drawing and painting, staff said. Closing schools is a politically sensitive endeavor in Ukraine since the orphanages represent one of the few reliable providers of jobs and also bring in cash to local communities, child protection experts say.Ukraine’s government does not publish aggregated data on their budgets. In a 2021 report, the former Commissioner for Children’s Rights Kuleba said maintaining one child in them costs more than UAH 200,000 a year on average.
