About the Foundation

Whoever gives to the needy will not lack.

History

The Foundation was established in July 2022 because some donors were unable to work with the authorities or with individual volunteers.

The founders of the Foundation are Nataliia Horbenko, Oleksandr Mosin and Serhii Kolesnyk. All of them have experience in local self-government. By joining forces, they created a strong basis for attracting the maximum resources for the residents of Mykolaiv, Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

In 2022–2025, the Foundation raised more than UAH 223 million in extra-budgetary funds, which were directed to a variety of humanitarian projects. The Foundation continues to grow and take on new areas of work.
