International Organization of Social Justice

What International Organization of Social Justice does

The International Organization of Social Justice is a Ukrainian charitable foundation founded in 2019-2020 by Nadiia Ratke and headquartered in Kyiv. It operates as a portfolio convener rather than a technology company, running approximately nine distinct social, cultural, and economic development projects spanning judicial reform, education reform, disability employment support, Ukrainian cultural promotion abroad, and crisis response. Its stated purpose is to provide social protection for Ukrainians, improve functions in the legal, economic, and cultural spheres by importing successfully implemented experience from abroad, and to promote Ukrainian culture globally. Areas of activity include assisting judicial reform via experience exchange with partner countries, supporting science and education, culture promotion, healthcare access, social sector development, and democracy-building.

The foundation does not build proprietary technology platforms; instead, it convenes and funds projects through bilateral relationships with governmental bodies (Prosecutor General's Office, High Anti-Corruption Court, Ministry of Health, Office of the President, Academy of the Prosecutor's Office) and external development organizations (UN, USAID, European Council, Human Rights Watch). Documented programs include the RazomUA COVID-19 response platform operated with the Council of Volunteers of the Ministry of Defense, a Ukrainian International Financial Centre initiative modeled on the Dubai International Financial Centre, a JuniorZ-supported PE reform traveling through Ukrainian schools, a German-modeled disability employment program, the Ballet Open Space festival partnered with the National Opera of Ukraine, and cultural internationalization with the National Art Museum of Ukraine including audio-guide translation into foreign languages.

Revenue derives exclusively from charitable contributions, accepted in UAH and EUR through PrivatBank accounts and LiqPay QR codes. The foundation operates with approximately five employees and is founder-controlled, with Margaryta Melnychuk serving as Executive Assistant to the CEO. No institutional investors, grant-making pipeline, or quantified donor base are disclosed; all international partnerships appear to be driven by the founder's personal network spanning Ukraine, Germany, UAE, Chile, and broader Europe and the Middle East.
