Our mission –
to support those who find themselves in a difficult life situation due to the war and its consequences. We provide humanitarian, psychological and material assistance, taking care of families, children and displaced persons. Together with our Volunteers and Partners, we strive to restore people’s faith in the future and create conditions for a decent life, working on it – first in the basement of the dormitory, where people hid from shelling in the first days, and now as a friendly team, united by the experience gained and a common aspiration, and your sympathy and support.

MAIN ACTIVITIES
ABOUT US
The CHERVONA KALYNA KHARKIV Charitable Foundation was established on the basis of an educational institution in Kharkiv with the support of the administration and caring people. Its activities began on February 24, 2022, in the context of the crisis caused by Russian aggression, when about 300 students and staff took refuge in the basement of the dormitory.
In the first days of the war, Kharkiv faced food shortages, problems with energy supply, water, transport, and psychological stress. The foundation was headed by Lyudmila Katkova, who organized safety and support for students and staff, and also launched a food supply program.
Currently, we are helping internally displaced persons, families evacuated from places of hostilities, as well as providing homemade food to the wounded in hospitals. Our ability to help depends entirely on your trust in us – the people working in the foundation. Therefore, we are completely open to the public and regularly publish reports and other materials about our activities.
