Restoring hope and resilience in orphaned Ukrainian children through holistic support and trauma-informed care amidst the devastation of war.

We care for the hearts, minds, and well-being of child victims of the war in Ukraine.

In the face of war and adversity, 2024 was a year of healing, resilience, and hope—made possible by you.

Thanks to your generosity, Ukraine Volya Foundation provided:

  • 1,375 hours of trauma-informed therapy for 150+ children

  • Emergency aid to 5 orphanages and 515+ disabled children

  • 40 healing kits and 2 child-friendly bomb shelters in frontline Kherson

  • Education and emotional care for children like Nadia, who is now smiling, speaking, and thriving

  • We stewarded $83,069, with 86% going directly to mission-critical programs in Ukraine.

Every child deserves a chance to heal and grow—and every donation makes it happen.

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.

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.
