Tom McEnaney, founder of Effective Aid Ukraine (who’s a media consultant and former journalist), speaks to Kieran about how for the past 25 years he has been carrying out projects with disadvantaged children mostly in Belarus with 60 different residential child institutions, mostly orphanages, centres for children with special needs.

He explains how they are now working in Ukraine on their first project, converting a Ukranian orphanage into a special needs centre.

Effective Aid Ukraine have no staff and volunteers, Tom included, all pay 100% of their own expenses, so almost all money raised goes directly to the children.
