PHILANTHROPISTS RESTORED 11 HOUSES OF LOCAL RESIDENTS DESTROYED DURING THE RUSSIAN ASSULT ON THE KYIV REGION
“This project is an extremely successful example of charity partnership work. Several charitable foundations, civil society institutions, including international ones, have joined forces to help those who have survived Russia’s invasion and occupation. As soon as we were alerted to the situation facing the local residents of Rudnytske we were determined to immediately respond as we believe the restoration of Ukraine and its territorial communities must begin now. The whole Ukraine is united now behind the war effort and will work tirelessly for the sake of victory!” comments Pavlo Moroz, Director of the Corporate Social Responsibility Department of MHP.
Initially, it was planned to restore 8 houses. However, contractors and suppliers of building materials provided goods and services at cost meaning 11 families were able to benefit and receive assistance.
The village was occupied until March 28. Russian military hid behind civilians and placed their equipment in civilians’ yards and gardens. As a result, people’s homes were hit by crossfire. This happened to the house of the Tkachenko family.
“The explosion in our house blew off the roof, smashed all the windows and doors. We were left without electricity, gas, water. The barn burned down, the room itself was damaged. We could not afford to do the necessary repair work ourselves. In summer we slept in the open air, and in September it was raining. That’s why our family is very grateful to the benefactors and builders – to everyone involved in this case for the fact that we were able to enter the winter in a warm house,” says Oleg Tkachenko, one of those whose house was restored within the project.
