“The problem of child disability in the border regions of Lithuania and the Kaliningrad region is one of the most urgent today. Unfortunately, many diseases that lead to disability are not curable, and it is difficult for such children to adapt and socialize in society in the future. The project plans to reduce the risk of an increase in the number of people with disabilities."

It should be noted that the project brings together 4 partners from the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation and Lithuania and is financed from the funds of the Russia-Lithuania 2014-2020 hospitality cooperation program and the partners' own funds in the amount of 10%.
