Ukrainian organization Down Syndrome is a non-state non-profit organization, created by families and parents whose children were affected by Down syndrome. Infopulse and its parent company EVRY have been supporting the organization since 2010.

UDSO actively supports people with Down syndrome and their families in Ukraine by delivering information resources, legal advice and education opportunities, as well as encouraging social and political change to improve the lives of the estimated 10,000 people living with Down syndrome across Ukraine. Thanks to the activities of the organization, over 800 families have gained access to relevant and up-to-date information regarding the possibilities of their children. Unlike it was 15 years ago, nowadays 90% of children with Down syndrome stay with their families instead of being given up. The Ministry of Education of Ukraine and a number of other Ukrainian and international companies also officially back up the charity projects organized by UDSO. Still, on a governmental level, a huge work is yet to be done.
