The event is dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the MHP-Community Charitable Foundation, which during this time has become a reliable support for hundreds of Ukrainian communities.
The forum was held at the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine and became a platform for discussing key challenges and opportunities for sustainable development in times of war. The focus is on partnership, culture, entrepreneurship and rehabilitation of veterans.
The MHP-Community Charitable Foundation began its activities in 2015. Today, its initiatives cover 13 regions and more than 700 settlements. During this time, the fund has supported more than 500 enterprises, invested 30 million hryvnias in the development of communities and helped more than 3 million Ukrainians.
The main areas of our foundation are support for micro and small businesses, communities, military, veterans, families of our defenders, children, youth, the elderly... We have supported more than 500 businesses... Networking communities is very important to us, because together we are strong
We have become a reliable partner for sustainable development of communities. And this was especially evident during the full-scale invasion. We are a partner in the development of the state, communities and every citizen. We are a reliable partner of the military, military units, veterans
Support for veterans became a separate important block of the forum. Participants shared their stories of transformation - both personal and community.
During the war, supporting entrepreneurs, farmers, farmers is a very good thing. Thanks to "MHP-Community" we made a therapeutic garden, automated the farm, held events for the rehabilitation of veterans... We cooperate with them in 5 projects
Special attention at the forum was paid to the cultural front. Speeches by leading cultural figures proved that art today is not only about beauty, but also about resistance and preservation of identity.
It was 500+ events, 48 countries in the world, 176 cities
Star guests - Oles Sanin, Taras Kompanichenko, Ivan Leno, Bohdana Pivnenko, Akhtem Seitablaev - spoke about the power of Ukrainian word, music, cinema and traditions in preserving the national spirit.
During the forum, the cultural and educational project "Old World Cuisine of Ukraine" was also launched - a joint initiative of the Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine and the MHP-Community Foundation. This is a book, a series of videos and a gastronomic dialogue about the history and heritage of the nation - through dishes from Kotlyarevsky's Aeneid.
Today we want to support those communities that, together with us, help those who are having the hardest time now. We invite communities to partnership, because quality of life, support for vulnerable groups, education and medicine are our shared responsibility. Also, an extremely important vector of development of the MHP-Community Charitable Foundation is the support of Ukrainian culture as the basis of the Ukrainian nation
