Blago Foundation
The Blago Foundation is a charitable organization in Ukraine with a social house, several warehouses, and two community centers. The Blago Foundation also oversees eight children’s spaces and migrant shelters, organizing educational and entertainment activities for children and their mothers. The volunteers of the Blago Foundation assist people who have suffered from the war or have fled from bombings, and they provide support to civilians at risk of contracting HIV or tuberculosis. They also take care of bedridden elderly individuals and offer assistance by providing hygiene products, for example. The Blago Foundation is supported by various professional supporters and mentors.
Since the beginning of the war, the Blago Foundation has organized a pharmaceutical warehouse. In the first months of the war, medications were transported to hospitals in Kharkiv and to people residing in basements or metro stations. In the summer of 2022, more medicines and medical supplies became available, allowing volunteers to send additional medications to the frontline villages and cities in the Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnepropetrovsk, and Kherson regions. Pharmacies and hospitals in these regions and cities have been partially or completely damaged or are no longer functioning adequately due to ongoing shelling.
In the Kharkiv region, the Blago Foundation delivers the majority of medications to local medical centers and doctors. Medications are also distributed to people during doctor’s appointments in mobile clinics, and small buses with doctors and volunteers travel to villages where there are no local doctors or medical care.
Unbroken
Every week, wounded patients are transported from front-line hospitals by evacuation trains and ambulances. Treatment of the war-affected Ukrainians takes place within the framework of the UNBROKEN National Rehabilitation Center. This is a unique place where adults and children affected by the war can receive comprehensive qualified medical care. It includes reconstructive surgery, orthopedics and robotic prosthetics. Here, prostheses are not only fitted but also manufactured. In addition, the Center provides physical, psychological and psychosocial rehabilitation of the injured. The project is implemented by the First Medical Union of Lviv and the Lviv City Council with the support of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Our goal is to help Ukrainians remain UNBROKEN and get all the necessary help here, in their own country, near their families.
