We care for the hearts, minds, and well-being of child victims of the war in Ukraine, especially those who have been orphaned.

We are the Ukraine Volya Foundation (UVF). The Ukrainian word, “Volya” means “liberty and will”.

Nataliya Vyetrova, a Ukrainian, and Founder and CEO of UVF, spent the first two months of the war in Ukraine helping children, particularly orphans. Doing so, exposed her to the enormity of support these children need as a result of the war.

Nataliya, with other volunteers, created the foundation so this young generation of Ukranians, have the opportunity, as they did before the war, to pursue a promising future. In working with children, UVF focuses on psychotherapy, physiotherapy, and educational programs. Through networking with specialists, medical centers, and teachers, UVF helps children in different regions of Ukraine.

In one month, we visited and helped three orphanages that were moved from Eastern Ukraine to the regions of: the Chernivetska, Zakarpatska, and Lvivska, in Western Ukraine. With help of our donors, UVF bought medicine, shoes, and clothes for these displaced children.

When you engage a child who cannot fully comprehend the loss of their safety and/or family, your responsibility for this child grows. There is no other choice but to help! UVF provides a solution that brightens the future for the children impacted by the war in Ukraine. Together and with your support, UVF will shine a light on the lives of innocent children and other victims of war.
