Solidarity Fund PL in Ukraine

What Solidarity Fund PL in Ukraine does

Solidarity Fund PL in Ukraine is the Kyiv-based Representative Office of Fundacja Solidarności Międzynarodowej, a Polish State Treasury foundation established under Poland's 2011 Development Cooperation Act. The Ukraine office operates three flagship programmes: PRO_MentalHealth, a decentralised network of district-level psychosocial support centres delivering psychological, psychiatric, social, legal and rehabilitation services to war-affected populations (8 operational centres in Rivne and Zhytomyr oblasts, expanding to Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa); Skills4Recovery, a multi-donor initiative co-implemented with GIZ that finances vocational education modernisation through Ukrainian training institutions; and Vognebortsi (Firefighters), a six-year civil-protection programme developing volunteer fire brigades in partnership with the State Emergency Service of Ukraine across 330 communities.

The organisation operates a community-led, grant-intermediary model rather than a technology or commercial-revenue model. Funding is derived from Poland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs via the 'Polish Aid' programme, supplemented by the European Union (including the Ukraine Facility), the US Department of State, and the governments of Germany, Estonia and Denmark. It does not charge for services or sell products; instead it disburses grants through open competitions to NGOs, educational institutions and territorial communities (hromadas), and delivers capacity-building programmes directly. The foundation holds the European Commission's Pillar Assessment (2023), enabling delegated cooperation, and is a member of the Practitioners' Network for European Development Cooperation (2025).

Outcomes reported over the July 2023–May 2026 window include approximately 70,000 consultations in Ukraine, over 11,000 individuals assisted by psychosocial centres between January 2024 and May 2025, and 3,000 trainees planned through Skills4Recovery. The Ukraine Representative Office is staffed by a small core team (approximately 6 personnel) supplemented by grant-funded implementing partners, and coordinates with Ukrainian ministries (Veterans Affairs, DSNS) and international donors across multiple multi-donor initiatives. The foundation maintains parallel operations in Moldova (Chisinau) and content/support programmes for Belarus, while having closed its Tbilisi office in 2026.

Its three flagship programs are PRO_MentalHealth (a decentralized network of district psychosocial support centers serving war-affected populations), Skills4Recovery (vocational education modernization co-implemented with GIZ), and Vognebortsi/Firefighters (civil protection capacity building through volunteer fire brigades). Services are delivered via the Kyiv Representative Office and a network of partnerships with Ukrainian ministries, the State Emergency Service, vocational institutions, NGOs, and territorial communities.

Product overview

Solidarity Fund PL in Ukraine operates as a state development cooperation foundation implementing grant-funded programmes rather than a commercial technology product company. Its portfolio consists of three flagship programme areas: PRO_MentalHealth — a decentralized network of district-level psychosocial support centres providing integrated psychological, psychiatric, social, legal, and rehabilitation services for war-affected populations; Skills4Recovery — a multi-donor vocational education modernisation initiative supporting youth and adult training through local educational institutions; and Vognebortsi (Firefighters) — a civil protection programme that develops local volunteer fire brigades and strengthens community emergency response capacity. All programmes are grant-funded by the EU, Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other international donors, and are delivered through the Ukraine Representative Office in Kyiv.
