Humanitarian care for Chernobyl's children

When the Chernobyl disaster struck, Belarus, just across the border from the Ukraine Chernobyl site, was the hardest hit. Children, especially, were seriously affected and continue to be. When Adi Roche set up her organization, Chernobyl Children International, in 1991 in Ireland, others were inspired to follow. One such was Linda Walker, who founded Chernobyl Children’s Project UK in 1995, not only to bring Belarussian children out of the country for "radiation vacations," but also to deliver humanitarian aid to those affected by Chernobyl inside Belarus. Her work continues today. Read our story about her at Beyond Nuclear International.
