MODULAR HOMES
KYIV REGION
Our first construction initiative began with building modular homes, which were placed on individuals’ land lots to replace their destroyed houses. This allowed people to stay on their land and gradually rebuild their lives.
This program was made possible through a partnership with the non-profit organization To Ukraine with Love.
WE HELPED TO PLACE OVER 400 MODULAR HOMES
BABENKO FAMILY
Valentyna and Yuriy Babenko did not plan to evacuate Irpin, but their son Anton, a researcher and a university professor, insisted. They went to stay with Yuriy's brother in Ternopil, but their hearts were longing for home. In early April, the family decided to return for the Annunciation holiday, hoping their home remained intact.
"We found absolute horror here," said Yuriy. The road, typically covered with pine tree branches, hed dozens of bullet cases.

MARCHENKO FAMILY
By February 26th, the full-scale attack had reached the vilage of Makovishi. Fifty family members and neighbors huddled in a bomb shelter while Russian troops walked above. They escaped and soon after their home was destroyed.
When the Marchenkos returned, the site of the destruction was too much and their grandfather died of a heart attack the next day. The five family members spent the next ten months sleeping in the garage on one air mattress.

Places like Makariv, Irpin, Borodyanka, and Bucha are known as some of the most devastating sites of war crimes during the early months of the war. We are grateful to have helped so many people remain on their land by providing new housing, enabling them to begin rebuilding their communities. This was a meaningful and honorable mission for our foundation from February to December 2023.
