Ukraine is considered by the European Union as a country of paramount importance with enhanced innovation potential and opportunities for its implementation. Ukraine faces serious problems in both external and internal affairs, and the EU is actively and firmly supporting Ukraine in its management. Cooperation between the EU and Ukraine and EU support for Ukraine is comprehensive and includes political and economic cooperation, science, education, culture, the exchange of civil society, and much more.
In its activities, the Foundation is guided by the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine “On Charity and Charitable Organizations” and other current legislative acts of Ukraine. The charitable activity of the Foundation is carried out on the principles of legality, humanity, the commonality of interests, equal rights of its participants, publicity, voluntariness, and self-governance.
Today, the Ukrainian Foundation for International Youth Cooperation “Leader” actively supports various initiatives aimed at improving the living conditions of vulnerable groups of the population, assisting the military, and supporting communities. Since 2022, the foundation expanded its activities, focusing efforts on volunteer work and cooperation with other organizations, volunteers, and communities to achieve common goals.
One of the key events of 2024 was the charity marathon “The Power of Unity”, organized by the Public Organization “NewWe” with the support of the Head of the Obolon District State Administration in Kyiv, Kyrylo Fesyk. The marathon brought together hundreds of volunteers and public figures. The following initiatives were implemented as part of this event:
Collection and delivery of humanitarian aid to military and internally displaced persons.
Repair and arrangement of temporary shelters for families who lost their homes due to the war.
Conducting trainings for volunteers on psychological support for military and veterans.
In addition, the foundation launched the program “Local Communities – Together for Change”, the purpose of which is to involve local activists in projects to restore infrastructure and create comfortable living conditions in the affected regions.
Cooperating with other volunteer organizations and partners, the Leader Foundation continues to implement innovative solutions to provide assistance to those who need it most.
The Foundation’s Educational Initiatives for Youth in Wartime: Financial Literacy, Technology, and Investing in Ukraine’s Reconstruction
As part of the Foundation’s strategic directions in 2025, an important component will be supporting youth who, due to the war, have found themselves outside Ukraine or are under challenging conditions within the country itself. Education has always been a powerful tool for the development of society, and in modern realities, it is becoming even more important. That is why the Foundation pays special attention to educational programs aimed at developing key skills that will help Ukrainian youth adapt to new conditions and become active participants in the reconstruction of the country.
One of the Foundation’s main educational initiatives is to increase financial literacy among youth. In the context of global economic instability and the active reconstruction of Ukraine, it is extremely important that the younger generation has basic financial management, investment, and entrepreneurship skills.
In addition to financial literacy, significant attention will be paid to studying modern technologies, which play a critically important role in Ukraine’s security, defense capability, and reconstruction.
Educational programs in engineering and construction technologies will provide an understanding of the latest construction methods and the use of innovative materials, which will help in the rapid reconstruction of the country’s destroyed infrastructure. In the direction of IT and digital technologies, programs will aim to train in cybersecurity, software development, and artificial intelligence.
Such initiatives will contribute to creating a new generation of Ukrainian entrepreneurs, engineers, and investors who will be able to use the knowledge gained to reconstruct and develop the country. Thanks to a comprehensive approach – from financial literacy to in-depth study of modern technologies – young people will have the opportunity not only to adapt to the challenges of modernity but also to become a driving force for change.
The Foundation believes that investments in education and youth development are the key to a successful future for Ukraine. 💙💛
