Protecting children in Belarus is vital. Thats why we provide essential healthcare, equipment and vitamins to help battle against the huge effects that radiation has in the area.
Welcome
Welcome to the Chernobyl Children's Life Line website for the Cambridge, Ely and Newmarket area.
Chernobyl Children's Life Line (CCLL) was founded in 1992 to help the children of Belarus who have been affected by the Chernobyl disaster. The charity is made up of a number of 'Links', local groups of people sharing the same aims. There are now around 140 Links throughout the country, run by voulunteers who raise funds to bring groups of children to the UK. It costs about £500 (including airfare) to bring a child here for a four week respite holiday, and all money donated goes towards these costs.
In 2006, CCLL brought over 4000 children to the UK, and to date, the total number of children given this opportunity is well over 40,000. It is believed that a month away from the contamination, eating nourishing food and breathing clean air, may significantly increase their life expectancy by giving their immune system a chance to recover.
