The
people of Belarus live with the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster
that sent a cloud of radioactive particles over their country, contaminating
much of their land and damaging their nation’s health. Chernobyl
Children Life Line (CCLL) organises recuperative holidays for Belarusian
‘Chernobyl children’ through a network of ‘Links’
within the UK, with each Link inviting children to their area.
Since 1992 the Charity and its Links have become involved
in many projects within Belarus to support children, their families and
communities. The charity also supports a number of orphanages and children’s
hospitals.
CCLL comprises thousands of volunteers, who generously
give their time to organise visits and activities, host the children and
raise the money needed for airfares and to cover numerous other costs.
All funding is raised through their hard work and the
generosity and support of individuals, businesses and organisations within
the Link’s community and sometimes further afield. A donation can
help a child visit the UK, or help support projects within Belarus. If
you would like to make a donation to our Link, please click "Make
