Helping the defenders of Ukraine

We support the strong and unbreakable. Transport, medicines, food, clothes, equipment and technical equipment – for the defenders who fight for our Ukrainian land.

Helping Refugees

Since 24 February 2022 millions of Ukrainians have been forced to leave their homes due to the Russian invasion, on the verge of the humanitarian disaster. And we do not ignore them.

Helping children and mothers

Multipurpose, systematic support for mothers with children is available for families who are forced to leave their homes or stayed at home and find themselves in a difficult situation.

Helping doctors and medical institutions

We regularly provide medical equipment, medicines, uniforms and other materials that are lacking in medical facilities that treat the wounded and injured in hostilities.

Food safety

An indispensable element of humanitarian security of the country is an uninterrupted access to food. From the first day of the war, we organized regular humanitarian support for the population and for our heroic defenders at hot spots in Ukraine.

In addition, the foundation is actively working to provide financial and expert support to improve food security and agricultural development in communities across Ukraine. In 2022, we distributed more than 114,800 packets of seeds for growing vegetables in 11 regions of Ukraine as part of our “Sowing Seeds with MHP” campaign. In August, we launched the All-Ukrainian competition of social initiatives "Time to Act, Ukraine!" aimed at supporting local public initiatives to address specific problems communities are facing as a result of the war. In November, together with the Nasha Ryaba brand and the Kateryna Osadcha Foundation, we started a charity project to provide baby food for Ukrainian children. Institutions that take care of children who have been deprived of parental care havereceived more than 40,000 cans of KOKO baby food from Nasha Ryaba. In the fall, the Foundation helped to equip 75 shelters in kindergartens, schools and hospitals across 8 regions of Ukraine. The total amount of assistance is over UAH 6.6 million. Our activities were highly appreciated in the national rating of social initiatives "Responsible Country" - the projects "Cinema for Victory!" and "Shelter: The Armed Forces Hold the Front, We Keep Their Children Safe" projects won the rating. The Foundation also received the highest 5 stars in the national rating "Compass of Charity of Ukraine" organized by the Association of Philanthropists of Ukraine.
