About the Foundation

“Masha Foundation “ is a public organization established in 2020 to combat violence.

Our goal is to help Ukrainian women overcome the psychological consequences of war. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Fund has been assisting women and children affected by the war.

The psycho-emotional stabilization program “Unbreakable Mom” aims to bring women back to life after the loss of loved ones, homes, and experiences of occupation; women who have survived war crimes, including sexual crimes, and those who have been in Russian captivity. The “Brave” project teaches adolescent girls physical and psychological self-defense. The “Unbreakable” Women’s Mental Rehabilitation Center

in Kyiv is open to all women and their children in need of psychological support.

 

Masha Fund is also engaged in restoring the economic opportunities of women who suffered from the Russian-Ukrainian war. This activity is carried out within the framework of the “Successful” project.

 

Another task of the “Masha Foundation” is the training of psychologists, as the need for psychological assistance after the trauma of war is growing every day.

We work with the best specialists in the fields of psychotherapy and post-traumatic syndromes to provide the most professional help to women and children. We revive Ukrainian women for the revival of Ukraine!

 

Values of the Fund:

  • Trust and Honesty
  • Mutual Aid and Support
  • Innovation

 

Fund’s Mission

Reviving women for the revival of Ukraine.
