This event is part of Wilde Week, a nationwide initiative in the Netherlands where communities come together to support impactful projects around the world. And this time — we run for Ukraine 🇺🇦
Why we run
We run to support Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) programs in Ukraine — helping children develop, grow, and thrive despite the reality of war.
Because for us:
💛 Wings mean access to essential early support
💛 Wings mean knowledge and strength for parents
💛 Wings mean a child still has a future
Every child deserves the chance to grow — no matter the circumstances.
