Nova Ukraine Wins National Award for Medical Aid Efforts in Ukraine

Angel figurine awards for the "Charitable Ukraine" contest.
Donate

We are honored to share that Nova Ukraine has received first place in the “Charity in Healthcare” category at Charitable Ukraine 2024, the country’s highest national recognition for charitable work.

Out of more than 1,790 applicants across 26 categories, only three winners were selected in each. At the award ceremony in Kyiv, honorees were presented with the “Angel of Goodness” statuette – a national symbol of gratitude for humanitarian service.

This award recognizes the collective efforts of our medical team and partners who work every day to save lives and strengthen Ukraine’s healthcare system under fire. Through our HEAL initiative, Nova Ukraine delivers trauma kits, funds first-aid training, equips hospitals, and supports rehabilitation programs for civilians and veterans across the country – including in regions near frontlines.

Ukraine’s healthcare system, already under strain from years of underfunding and the impact of COVID-19, has been devastated by war. Hospitals near the front and across the country face power outages, staff shortages, and supply crises – all while treating a constant flow of trauma patients. Our role is to help bridge global medical standards with on-the-ground realities, working hand-in-hand with local responders. Our medical team is focused on both saving lives and rebuilding them, so people in Ukraine can receive comprehensive care even in the hardest-hit areas.

We do this in close coordination with Ukrainian hospitals – more than 600 supported in 2024 – as well as the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, local nonprofits, and U.S.-based partners. These partnerships allow us to deliver modern equipment, provide emergency response training, and enable long-term recovery through specialized rehabilitation centers.

This recognition is a testament to what’s possible when compassion meets coordination. Behind every kit, every delivery, every training is a life saved – or a future restored.

HEAL with us. Your support helps us train first responders, supply hospitals, rehabilitate veterans, and provide care where it’s needed most.

‘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
