About us
We started our activities in May 2022, helping to rebuild towns and villages affected by the russian invasion. Every week, volunteers went to the de-occupied territories of Kyiv region to clear rubble and repair damaged houses.
In a few years, our initiative has grown into a professional team that has managed to unite thousands of people from all over the world into a large community, launch several large-scale reconstruction projects, and expand our activities to 6 regions: Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Kherson regions.
Every weekend, volunteers join clean-ups in the de-occupied territories. They clear rubble, preserve and restore damaged buildings, creating a safe place to live. At the same time, our team of professional builders and architects is carrying out major reconstruction of schools, hospitals and important social and cultural facilities.
We are working on the principle of “Build Back Better” to not only repair the damage but also create new opportunities for the development of the affected communities.
