In April, we witnessed unforgettable stories of courage in survival, the strength of resilience, and the promise of new beginnings. Thanks to your support, Nova Ukraine continues to deliver urgent aid, support recovery, and amplify Ukrainian voices.
HEAL: Medical Aid and Emergency Relief
Nova Ukraine is one of Ukraine’s leading suppliers of first-aid kits — in 2024 alone, we supplied over 7,500 Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs) and 43,000 tourniquets.
We support first aid training — from classrooms to first responders to our own teams — ensuring they know how to act when every second counts. The needs are high, and our teams are ready. are ready. Read more.
With the support of our partners, life-saving evacuations continue. Ms. Olga refused to leave her home in Kharkiv, clinging to hope — until a direct shell strike left her injured. Her granddaughter carried her through the painful journey to safety, where she now receives medical care and love.

Through the Ukraine Without Pain program, we continue training Ukrainian doctors to treat trauma and chronic pain — combining expert instruction with hands-on care.

To keep hospitals running through power outages, we’re funding solar energy systems with battery storage at key medical sites — including a recent installation at a children’s hospital in Kharkiv.

EMPOWER: Education and Culture
With your help, the ENGin4EDU program is helping English teachers in Ukraine regain confidence and expand their skills. Each participant meets weekly with a volunteer mentor to improve their spoken English and teaching techniques. 203 teachers have enrolled to date.

When funding gaps threatened local programs, Nova Ukraine stepped in. After the USAID uncertainty in January, we launched an Emergency Bridge Fund to keep services running — including support for Save Ukraine, helping families like Olha’s.
Olha and her daughter spent nearly three years under occupation — surviving home raids, shortages, and fear. When it became too dangerous to stay, they fled. Today, they’re safe and rebuilding, thanks to donors like you.
