Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) in Ukraine has announced the construction of the first Ronald McDonald House.

The house will have an approximate area of 2,500 square meters will be built in Kyiv on the territory of the largest children’s hospital in Ukraine OHMATDYT. The hospital treats up to 20,000 children from all over the country and undertakes 10,000 operations yearly. RMHC Ukraine plans to equip the Ronald McDonald House with 50 separate rooms, which will provide more than 18,000 overnight stays each year at no cost to families, saving them tens of millions of hryvnias on accommodations and food when the child is ill. Completion of the Ronald McDonald House is scheduled for the end of 2023.
