"Since childhood, I felt that my calling was to help children, and thanks to KidAid, my dream came true. It was my first experience volunteering, and from the very first day of helping kids, I realized that I really enjoyed what I did. And it's sooo cool!

Every minute I spend with these kids gives me more confidence that we can do even more. And we must do our best to make their lives better. All of them are the future of our world, so let's not miss our chance for a better future."

From Our Founder
In 2005, God planted a seed in my heart — a deep calling to bring the love of Jesus to Ukraine. From that moment, I carried a burning desire to share His Word and to help children form a personal relationship with Christ.
When the war began and I saw the destruction across our land, I knew the time was now. Out of this conviction, the You Want Foundation was born — fulfilling God’s prophecy and His will.
My mission is simple: to bring Jesus to as many children as possible, to give them hope, to shine God’s light into their lives, and to strengthen them in Christ so they too may carry His message to others. I feel great pride in what the IoannFOUNDATION is doing!"
