UNHIDE UKRAINE

2022 - TODAY

ART IS LIKE A LANGUAGE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS,
THAT CONNECTS US AND NEEDS NO RULES OR BORDERS.

UNHIDE Ukraine provides children and young people in Ukraine with a safe space to discover their talents and express themselves creatively. In our workshops, we invite them to bring their inner worlds to life – with brushes, paint, and music. Here, they can dream, feel, and let go.

Art and music help to express the unspoken, make wounds visible, and heal step by step.

Unhide

2016 - TODAY

TO BE INVISIBLE. FOR MANY, THIS IS NOT A DREAM.
BUT A BITTER REALITY.

With the UNHIDE project, we collaborate with ARTHELPS to advocate for precisely these individuals. For children and young people who are not seen and go unnoticed in our society. For all those who have no opportunity to discover their potentials. UNHIDE gives them a voice and a platform to express themselves creatively. In workshops, we support them in discovering their own strengths and making their dreams, hopes, and needs visible.

Clearwater

2011 - 2021

A land that rightfully belongs to the original inhabitants of the Amazon for thousands of years. Rivers, streams, and soil have been polluted and rendered infertile due to the resulting activities. Saving An Angel supported the ClearWater project and, as a result, the indigenous people and local farmers in their struggle for the cleanup and restoration of their land from October 2011 to the end of 2021.

Visit to the UNHIDE Hub in Kyiv

A key stop on our project trip in October 2024 was the visit to the UNHIDE Hub in Kyiv to observe the progress of the renovation work. The top floor of the building is already ready for workshops, while the construction of the other floors and the shelter continues. On this day, another creative workshop took place, where 37 children and teenagers from various regions of Ukraine molded clay lanterns. These lanterns are meant to bring warmth and hope to them during the cold winter days. A particularly touching moment was the making of candles, where the children shaped wax figures – a simple but very relaxing and meditative activity that helped the children calm down and express themselves.

First Workshop in the UNHIDE Pop-Hub – The Whale

On October 17, the UNHIDE Pop-Hub, affectionately called “The Whale” by the children, opened its doors in Irpin for its first workshop. Twenty-four children, including evacuees from Kharkiv and Kherson, created their own designs on bags and caps with the guidance of art therapists. One particularly touching moment was when a young girl made a bag for her mother, hoping to bring her a smile after experiencing great losses. In the coming months, “The Whale” will continue traveling across Ukraine, offering more children the opportunity to find hope and healing through art.
