Canadian Friends of Chernobyl's Children is a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid to areas contaminated by the fallout of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. We bring children to Canada for a healthy respite from their contaminated environment. We also provide aid and supplies to others living in those contaminated areas.

For most, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of April 26, 1986 is a distant memory, but for some 800,000 people living in the contaminated regions of Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia, it is a grim and ever-present fact of life. It is estimated that the soil and food chain in the area will remain contaminated until the year 2135.

Canadian Friends of Chernobyl's Children is one of many world-wide organizations that help Belarussian victims of Chernobyl. Since 1989, more than 150,000 children have been sent for health respites to over 20 countries. These organizations also provide humanitarian aid, medical assistance, resettlement, physician training, and education.
