We have rescued 3,500 orphaned children from the horrors of war. Realizing that we want to provide systemic help, we consolidated our experience into a Foundation.

Charity in Ukraine is a response to the significant needs of society and the country, and it has become a real trend. We are setting an example for the whole world in this regard.

At the beginning of the war, the government asked for help with orphaned children. We were able to relocate about 3,500 children to Turkey. But over time, we realized that we wanted to provide assistance systematically, and based on our experience, we established a Foundation.

It is important to combine efforts to solve social problems. Collaborative work allows us to achieve much more. A prime example is the development of drone production, where Ukraine is already leading thanks to cooperation and the consolidation of efforts.

People play a key role in the work of charitable organizations. The shortage of personnel is a serious issue, so it is crucial to expand educational programs, including creating departments and faculties that will train specialists in charity and fundraising. Ukraine is now in the global spotlight, and the number of charitable foundations is growing along with public demand.

Research is the foundation for developing effective strategies and new projects.

Currently, our Foundation is focused on two main areas: supporting orphaned children and providing the Ukrainian Armed Forces with transportation. We strive not only to rescue orphaned children but also to help them find families. Initially, this concerns children involved in our project, and eventually, all Ukrainian orphans. Our goal is to become a reliable support for the state in the adoption process, actively engaging in this process.

The second area is helping the military. Our aim is to provide the armed forces with a sufficient number of powerful and fast vehicles.
