“EDOBRO”
is a charitable foundation founded in 2022 by the Ukrainian Church of Christians of Evangelical Faith, as a response to the challenges of the war in Ukraine.
Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To foster dignified lives and sustainable development for communities and individuals in times of crisis and recovery — through humanitarian aid, education, psychosocial support, and the strengthening of civil society.
Our Vision
A resilient civil society in which every person and community in Ukraine has the opportunity to grow, to live with dignity, to support one another, and to play an active part in the country's recovery.
We envision a Ukraine not merely rebuilt, but renewed. Places brought back to life. People not broken, but stronger. Communities driving change — and organisations that don't just respond to crises, but walk alongside people on the journey from devastation to renewal.
We believe true recovery is measured not by what has been rebuilt, but by what has grown stronger from within.
Organization values
Dignity
We don't see "vulnerable categories" — we see people. People with their losses, their choices, and their inner strength. Every interaction is an opportunity to preserve and affirm their dignity.
Solidarity
We don't help from a distance — we stand alongside. In a trench, a school, a volunteer hub, a damaged home — we are there. This isn't a method; it's who we are.
Justice
We don't look away from inequality — we address it. Where systems fall short, we build new pathways of support. We ensure that aid reaches people equitably, without exception.
Trust
We make promises — and we keep them. We report openly and listen carefully. Families, volunteers, donors, and partners trust us because we honour our commitments, in every detail.
Service
We have chosen a path where the aim is not recognition, but usefulness. Service is not sacrifice — it is a deliberate choice to be a source of warmth, support, and practical solutions.
Belief in Change
We believe that even in the darkest moments, opportunity takes root. We don't wait for better times — we build them, alongside the people we serve. Through local initiatives, daily connection, and steadfast presence.
Care
It is neither pity nor obligation. For us, care means paying genuine attention — to circumstances, to context, to the smallest details. We create spaces where people can breathe freely; where they are not merely seen, but truly understood.

Art Festival for Children of Veterans and Military Personnel: MTM Report from Zaporizhzhia
Over 50 children of veterans and military personnel took part in a large-scale art festival. Watch the MTM Zaporizhzhia report to see how creativity helps kids emotionally decompress and make new friends.
An art festival was organized in Zaporizhzhia for the children of veterans, military personnel, and their families.
The video covers an art festival dedicated to the children of veterans and military personnel. The event started with an energetic dance warm-up, after which the kids participated in various creative workshops: making jewelry, magnets, bouquets, and painting using unusual techniques. The organizers emphasize that the festival had a therapeutic purpose — to help children relax psychologically, relieve emotional stress through creativity, and learn art therapy techniques they can practice at home independently.
