Chernobyl Children International (CCI) partners with in-country organisations and NGOs, Government Ministries, international agencies and organisations, with the ultimate aim of reducing poverty and empowering local communities. We work in close partnership with local and international stakeholders to develop a new strategy for the recovery and sustainable development of the affected regions in Belarus, Western Russia and Northern Ukraine.
We place a high priority on the development of local capacity, using local labour, materials and other expertise where and whenever possible. We are also committed to building local capacity through training and education for local partners and project workers. We rely on the insights, expertise and resources of our extensive partner network to deliver meaningful, sustainable support to the communities affected by Chernobyl.
