where sending your child outside to play is detrimental to their health. Imagine a world where local vegetables are full of radiation. Imagine a world where a child’s coat costs 1/3 of your monthly income. This world is the reality for the children of Belarus, and these children need your help.
In 1986 the world’s worst nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant located in northern Ukraine. The Chernobyl explosion put 400 times more radioactive material into the Earth’s atmosphere than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Over 70% of the radiation fallout drifted north and east, landing within Belarusian borders. The radiation will be a part of the lives of the Belarusian people for hundreds of years to come and significantly affects the health of the over 2 million people living in the most contaminated regions. The contamination leads to thyroid cancers, leukemia, birth defects, vision and hearing loss and leads to an overall weakened immune system. Children’s growing bodies are most affected and it is crucial that they are given respite opportunities away from the radiation. In addition to the health impacts, the radiation fallout had a detrimental impact on the economy of Belarus, leading to many families needing help providing for the needs of their children.
