Together, we make a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of people.

Shortly after the first invaders’ attacks, we transformed our Lviv yoga center into a refugee shelter. Here women, children, and senior citizens who we transfer from the Lviv railway station can rest, receive the necessary care and support to continue their journeys to safe places. Three rooms out of six serve co-living spaces. In addition, there are separate rooms for various activities that proved to be truly therapeutic for refugees, including self-defense and survival training, first-aid course, yoga, and dance classes for kids. The Aid for Ukraine fund helps us cover expenses on medicine, utilities, and equipment for a self-defense class. We also support the members of our community in the east of Ukraine, those struggling through the humanitarian crisis caused by the Russian terrorist invasion.

I’ve joined a group of volunteers from Day 1 [of the war]. Our first challenge was providing medicine and supplies for the Vinnytsia hospital. Since then, the hospital has been our primary focus, with a few more projects to follow. Those include creating kitchens in the refugee centers and providing food and supplies for transit shelters. In March, we’ve been hosting up to 150-200 people per night. We’re happy to collaborate with the Aid for Ukraine fund – your support enables us to increase the scope of our work and help more people in need.
