Our story
Rise of Ukraine began in the first months of full-scale war. Four friends volunteered from the first days — each in their own field, helping where it was most needed. Over time, it became clear that together we could do much more.
In May 2022, we officially registered the fund. We started with a small team and worked with our own resources. Over time, an organization was formed that today implements large-scale humanitarian and educational projects.
Initial areas of focus
At first, our work focused on supporting the military. We sewed bulletproof vests and delivered trench candles, food, clothing, and other equipment needed at the front at that time.
At the same time, we helped internally displaced families who arrived in Dnipro with almost no belongings. We delivered food and basic necessities and tried to support people in the first days after their move.
New stage
In 2024, the fund focused on humanitarian areas. We expanded our civilian support programs and launched new educational and social initiatives.
We opened our HUB for children and began humanitarian missions and partnership projects with Ukrainian and international donors. This allowed us to work systematically with communities and support people in different regions.
Today
Today, Rise of Ukraine is a team of 18 people who work daily on humanitarian, educational, and social projects.
In almost four years, the foundation has grown from a small initiative of friends into a full-fledged organization that implements large-scale support programs. And we continue to develop new projects to make assistance available to even more people.
