Between February 2022 and September 2024, Nova Ukraine delivered $110 million in aid, helped more than 7,897,400 people, supported evacuations of 160,000 people and animals, and currently maintains a presence of more than 3,517 volunteers in Ukraine. In the third year of the full-scale invasion by russia, it’s now more important than ever to stay strong, present, and help in any way we can.

Since Nova Ukraine’s inception 10 years ago, our focus and main initiatives included medical aid, advocacy, infrastructure, and education and culture. Medical initiatives get the largest share of our budget. Nova Ukraine supplies medical equipment including hospital beds, tactical medicine, prosthetics, medications for hospitals, stabilization centers and the civilian population in Ukraine, and more.

To discuss our current medical initiatives, Nova Ukraine took part in the “Marathon of Support Programs for Medical Institutions” held as part of the annual exhibition, Public Health 2024 in Kyiv, Ukraine. During the marathon, representatives of International and Ukrainian charitable foundations, which provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainian medical institutions, talked about their assistance programs.

Andrii Rudenko, medical lead of the UA team, shared with representatives of the medical institutions the projects that Nova Ukraine implements in Ukraine. We talked about the main strategy of the medical team’s work, which is to implement projects that contribute to saving lives and rehabilitation.  

In addition to highlighting the usual areas of assistance that medical institutions can apply for, we also talked about new areas of assistance. Currently, Nova Ukraine is placing significant emphasis on projects to promote the rehabilitation of the wounded and support prosthetics, assistance in equipping stabilization points, and assistance in the development of the field of Pain Medicine (the creation of an accessible network of assistance for patients with chronic pain).

We are happy that we can help with specific initiatives, building the general support of the medical system. We are also grateful to our partners with whom we constantly implement joint projects: Patients of Ukraine, NaHa Zdorovi, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, Civil Awareness Center from CF Serhiy Prytula, Patriot, Leleka Foundation, Sich, ProstetiKa, and Protez Hub.

‘Language and Thinking’ Program Prepares Young Ukrainians for Future Leadership

With Nova Ukraine’s support, Bard College leads writing- and discussion-filled workshops on the topic of justice Students from across Ukraine developed critical reading, writing, and civic leadership skills in a new program this summer supported by Nova Ukraine. The tuition-free, residential program, called Language and Thinking Kyiv, was based on Bard College’s Institute for Writing and Thinking approach to learning and was led by students and faculty members from the school. A total of 29 high school students completed the three-week program, which focused on the theme of “justice.” Students read and discussed texts written by Václav Havel, Lesia Ukrainka, Martin Luther King Jr., and others, and zeroed in on topics such as freedom, responsibility, and dignity. The students worked in small, immersive workshops and practiced a variety of writing formats, including free writing, loop writing, and process writing—all in English—and then shared and discussed their work with their classmates to examine and refine their own thought processes. One example of their assignments was the use of dialectical notebooks, in which students write down their thoughts about a text they had read together, then pass their notebook to another student to add their perspective.

Planning, Not Reacting: Ukraine’s Rescuers and Nova Ukraine Prepare for Winter Side by Side

On the tenth floor of an apartment building on Kyiv's left bank last January, Svitlana could not bathe her three-year-old daughter, Arina, or cook her a hot meal. After strikes on the energy system, they had gone more than three days without heat or electricity, in temperatures as low as -18°C. So she wrapped Arina in layer after layer and took her down ten floors of a dark stairwell to a heated tent that Ukraine's State Emergency Service had set up outside. There they could warm up, eat something hot, charge a phone and talk with a psychologist. Millions of Ukrainian families lived some version of that winter. When the power goes out, heat and water often go with it, elevators stop, and anyone who depends on electricity for medical treatment is suddenly at risk. UNICEF, which documented families like Svitlana's, observed that darkness and freezing temperatures intensify fear and stress for children. For the rescuers of the State Emergency Service, known in Ukraine as DSNS, a winter like that changes the job. They still fight fires and search damaged buildings after attacks. But when power, heat, and water fail, they also put up warming tents, install generators, and help residents get through the outages. Last winter left them, and everyone working alongside them, with a plain lesson: the time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. Ukraine Is Preparing Earlier This Winter
