Pereyaslav volunteers have provided temporary shelter and are planning to rebuild the housing stock for permanent residence of internally displaced persons

Today is the time of courageous heroes who defend Ukraine at the cost of their own lives and are devotedly fighting for a free future.

Since the beginning of the war, many Ukrainians have been faced with the question: “Go abroad and ask for refuge? Or become yourself in the position of a defender and help in your country in the way that you can?”.

From the first days of March 2022, five volunteers began to help with free accommodation and full provision of everything necessary for internally displaced persons. More than 500 refugees from regions where were active battles with the Russian occupiers received refuge.

The building on the basis of the children's camp was reopened on their own, repairs were carried out after a long conservation period, conditions were prepared for the refugees to live, a school and a kindergarten, a medical center, and an animal shelter were organized. People were provided with high-grade free food and treatment.

Volunteer activity has grown in scale and motivated people and businesses to join this mission. Therefore, it was decided to register the charitable foundation "Pereyaslav", which makes it possible to fully report to the law and society and provides an opportunity for everyone to join the help.

Pavlo Shkira, head of the Charitable Foundation "Pereyaslav", told why he decided to deal with the problems of migrants.

“This is our front – the front of work for people!

There are two fronts in Ukraine - the front line and the rearward, where the country is recovering, gaining strength and raising children.

Both fronts are effective only when they work faithfully, in tandem, their results are common, and the difficulties too.

It is impossible to beat the enemy, knowing that your loved ones
