Save Ukraine is one of the largest charitable foundations in Ukraine, recognized by Forbes Ukraine. It is the country’s leading humanitarian organization focused on supporting families in need.

Founded in 2014, the organization works to protect children and families affected by the war. Our efforts are aimed at helping the most vulnerable Ukrainians — including orphans, children with disabilities, internally displaced persons, and survivors of violence.

We evacuate families from active combat zones and temporarily occupied territories. Save Ukraine is the only humanitarian organization that regularly carries out rescue missions to bring back children who have been forcibly deported to Russia.
