Ukraine has been running its marathon for freedom and democracy for more than a year.
We run as a Nova Ukraine team to help Ukrainians on their way.

On Sunday, May 21th, our team of 16 runners will start the Bay to Breakers run in the Embarcadero neighborhood by the San Francisco Bay, and run through nine of the city’s most notable neighborhoods – all the way to the Great Highway, where the breakers crash into Ocean Beach.

We want to turn every step into helping to restore destroyed schools in Ukrainian cities and villages. We are running to raise funds for the savED project. Our goal is to collect $16,000.

savED is an international charitable foundation that restores access to education in Ukrainian communities which suffered from the war. 

What they do:

  • Restore damaged schools
  • Arrange shelters
  • Open digital learning centers in UA communities
  • Help school to attract funds for their reconstruction and developmenProvide technical assessment of infrastructural damages.

Why restore schools now?

School is a place where we can give back to children their right to education, to learn and explore new things so that they grow up happy and conscious, making a change for Ukraine and the World.

  1. Donate
    You can support SavED project by donating to our DonorBox

  3. Meet
    We will be happy to meet in person with those, who also run Bay to Breakers 2023 after the race in the finish zone, near the Nova Ukraine tent!

Donate. Impact. Change.

We greatly value your support, and it is indeed crucial. Please consider donating monthly. Your consistent contributions are vital to sustaining our efforts and driving meaningful change over time. Your commitment will make a lasting difference, and we sincerely appreciate your consideration. Donate now or learn how you can help.

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

Scout Camps Help Develop the Leaders of Tomorrow

Nova Ukraine helps Ukraine's next generation build confidence and leadership skills through scholarships to Plast Ukraine and Motley Raccoons summer camps. The future of Ukraine will someday be in the hands of its children, who will soon be the leaders tasked with rebuilding their country. Nova Ukraine supports the development of these young members of society in multiple ways, including through several education initiatives such as this year’s Engineering Week, which reached more than 195,000 students in grades K-12. Just as important as developing their minds, however, is nurturing their spirits and ensuring that they enter adulthood with confidence, hope, and a deep appreciation for their homeland. That is where Nova Ukraine’s partnership with the outdoor leadership camps is playing a key role. This past summer, Nova Ukraine provided full-ride scholarships for 180 children to attend Plast Ukraine summer camps, where children ages 2-18 participated in outdoor adventures. They learned practical skills such as first aid, cooking over campfires, and navigating wilderness trails, and many gained experience leading their own squads.
