What Save Ukraine does

Save Ukraine is a Kyiv-based nonprofit humanitarian organization founded in 2014 by Mykola Kuleba, the former Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Children's Rights. Its mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and reintegrate children affected by war. The organization runs a portfolio of programs: Rescue Stolen Children (cross-border extraction of deported and displaced minors), Hope and Healing Centres (residential trauma rehabilitation), Child Protect and Restore (mental-health and family-reunification support), SchoolPack (educational supplies for displaced children), and a 24/7 hotline. Specialized human-capital programs include the WHO Caregiver Skills Training curriculum for early intervention and a Mind-Body Medicine training cohort of 90 certified facilitators delivered in partnership with the Center for Mind-Body Medicine.

The organization is anchored in Ukraine and operates a 51-100 person team with 24/7 readiness for frontline deployment. Its operational backbone is government-backed: it is a partner of the Bring Kids Back UA initiative coordinated by the Office of the President of Ukraine, and works alongside the Joint Center for the Coordination of Search and Release of Prisoners of War, the Working Group on the Protection of Children and Families Affected by the War, and the UN. Cumulatively, the organization reports 1,401+ child rescues and 165,000+ evacuations, with 5,000+ families sheltered. The organization has also engaged the ICC and ICC-officers in documenting child deportation to Russia.

The business model is grant-driven rather than commercial. Save Ukraine operates both a Ukrainian charitable foundation and a US 501(c)(3) entity with a New York presence, and is funded by a coalition of institutional donors including USAID, the European Commission, the German Foreign Office, and the governments of Austria, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The customer base is therefore a mix of government donors and individual/foundation donors, with services delivered at zero cost to beneficiary families.

Core offering

Save Ukraine is a charitable humanitarian organization that delivers a full cycle of support for children and families affected by the war in Ukraine. Its core offering encompasses rescue operations extracting children from Russia and temporarily occupied territories, evacuation from frontline areas, safe shelter and trauma recovery through Hope and Healing Centres, psychosocial and educational support, document restoration, family reunification, and reintegration programs. All services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries and are funded through charitable donations, grants, and institutional partners.

Product overview

Save Ukraine is a charitable humanitarian organization offering a full cycle of support for children and families affected by war—from rescue operations in Russia and temporarily occupied territories to long-term rehabilitation, document restoration, family reunification, and building a new stable life. The organization operates through five interconnected programs: Rescue Stolen Children (evacuation and rescue operations), Hope and Healing Centres (shelter and trauma recovery), Child Protect and Restore Program (educational reintegration), SchoolPack (educational supplies), and a Hotline (24/7 emergency coordination). The portfolio represents a vertically integrated humanitarian service delivery model rather than a technology product.
