Building Hope Together in Ukraine

Providing vital humanitarian aid, support, and community programs for those affected by conflict.
The Nadiya Foundation was established with a singular purpose: to bring 'Nadiya' - meaning hope - to the hearts and lives of those most affected by the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. Founded in [Insert a plausible founding year, e.g., 2015 or 2022 in response to the crisis], our roots are deeply embedded in the communities we serve across the nation, particularly focusing on internally displaced persons (IDPs), vulnerable families, and individuals in frontline regions. We witnessed the immense hardship, displacement, and loss, and knew that immediate, compassionate action was needed.
From our early days providing emergency relief, we have grown into a multifaceted organization dedicated to holistic support. Our work is guided by core values that shape every interaction and initiative: unwavering compassion for those suffering; absolute transparency in our operations and finances; empowerment of individuals and communities to rebuild their lives; and fostering a deep sense of community spirit that reminds people they are not alone. We believe that true recovery comes not just from meeting basic needs, but from restoring dignity, providing opportunities, and rebuilding the social fabric.
Our commitment extends beyond immediate aid. We strive to create sustainable solutions that help people not just survive, but thrive again. This involves long-term projects focused on social adaptation, community development, and providing access to critical services like psychological support and legal aid. We work tirelessly with local partners, international organizations, and dedicated volunteers to ensure our reach is wide and our impact is profound.
The journey has been challenging, marked by both heartbreak and incredible moments of human resilience and generosity. Every package of aid delivered, every counseling session provided, every safe shelter offered is a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring spirit of hope. We are more than an aid organization; we are a community built on the foundation of solidarity and a shared vision for a brighter future for all Ukrainians. Join us in making a lasting difference and sowing seeds of hope where they are needed most.
At Nadiya Foundation, our work is centered around providing essential support and fostering resilience within Ukrainian communities. We offer a range of integrated programs designed to meet immediate needs and support long-term recovery.
When crisis strikes, we provide immediate relief. This includes distributing vital supplies like food packages, clean water, hygiene kits, warm clothing, and basic medical supplies to families and individuals in urgent need, especially in areas directly affected by conflict or displacement.
For those displaced from their homes, safe and adequate shelter is paramount. We provide assistance with temporary accommodation, support for repairing damaged homes, and help finding longer-term housing solutions, ensuring families have a secure place to rest and rebuild.
Our work is powered by incredible volunteers. We recruit, train, and coordinate volunteers across Ukraine, providing them with the skills and resources needed to effectively deliver aid, support community programs, and make a tangible difference on the ground.
The emotional toll of conflict is immense. We offer free psychological counseling, therapy sessions, and support groups led by qualified professionals to help individuals and families cope with trauma, stress, and loss, fostering mental well-being.
Navigating legal challenges, such as obtaining official documents, proving residency, or accessing social benefits, can be daunting for displaced persons. We provide free legal consultations and assistance to help individuals secure their rights and status.
Integration into new communities is crucial for long-term recovery. We run programs that help IDPs adapt to their new environments, offering language classes, cultural activities, and social events that build connections and reduce isolation.
Empowering local communities is key to sustainable recovery. We support local initiatives, provide resources for community-led projects, and facilitate workshops focused on skills development and civic engagement, helping communities rebuild stronger from within.
Our commitment to the people of Ukraine is reflected in the tangible impact we make every day. With the support of our donors and volunteers, we are reaching thousands and helping communities reclaim their future.

"After we had to leave everything behind, the Nadiya Foundation was there immediately with essential supplies. They helped us find a safe place to stay and connected us with people who understood what we were going through. It wasn't just the aid; it was knowing someone cared. They gave us hope when we felt we had none left."
- Olena, Lviv (formerly from Mariupol)
"Volunteering with Nadiya Foundation has been incredibly fulfilling. Seeing the direct impact of our work – the smiles on children's faces when they receive toys, the relief of a family getting food – is what drives me. It's hard work, but being part of this community effort to rebuild and support feels like the most important thing I can do right now."
- Mykola, Volunteer in Kyiv

Their legal team explained everything clearly and helped me secure the necessary documents to access social support for my children. It lifted a huge burden off my shoulders."
