About the Klitschko Foundation

Before the outbreak of the war, the Klitschko Foundation in Ukraine had been making children’s dreams come true for 18 years. Founded by famous Ukrainian brothers Wladimir and Vitaliy Klitschko, former world heavyweight champion boxers, the Foundation has supported young people by helping them discover their potential and realize their dreams. The Foundation supports education as well as social, emotional and physical development. The Klitschko Foundation has helped more than 2 million children to gain the skills and work experience they need to succeed in the modern world and become change agents in their communities. The Foundation’s motto is: ‘Fight for your dream’. Since 2003, the Klitschko Foundation has taught young people to fight for their dreams through its projects. Now, the entire nation of Ukraine, and many countries around the world, are united in fighting for peace for the Ukrainian people. Together with global organizations and financial supporters, the Klitschko Foundation team is working to maintain the supply of all necessities to Ukraine. 

Humanitarian Aid

 In the Ukraine of today, adults and children alike are living in a nightmare. The war has been raging for over a month, threatening to crush the dreams of the Ukrainian people. But the Foundation's dreams have not been crushed. It’s still determined to fight for the future of Ukraine’s children. The team understands that their original goals can’t be realized in the midst of this crisis, while teenagers sit in bomb shelters, teachers pick through the ruins of their houses and thousands flee their homes. That’s why the Foundation’s priorities have changed. It’s currently directing efforts toward providing humanitarian aid such as food, clothing, medical care and other humanitarian assistance. No funding is being used for weapons or ammunition.

In this time, humanitarian aid from the Klitschko Foundation was sent to Ukrainian cities. And that is not the end of it. As the war continues in Ukraine, people need constant support and help. So now the foundation's team is working to deliver humanitarian aid faster to the places where help is needed right now.

Mental health and youth help

However, the team of the Klitschko Foundation has not forgotten about the aims of education and sports, because they believe that Ukraine will need educated, creative, enterprising, and courageous people to rebuild the country after the war.

This year, together with partners and others, Klitschko Foundation plans to implement a number of projects for youth, teachers, and NGOs. Here are the recurring projects that are planned to be repeated: «Democracy Hub», «Zero Waste School», «Play for equality», «School of Success», «ProCharity». 

The team can ensure that the projects they implemented from year to year do not remain the same, as everything has changed — from people's perceptions to the conditions in which they live. Therefore, all projects have been updated by the team, taking into account the current situation in Ukraine. Indeed, the most important theme of each project is mental health and psychological support. This is what is currently most relevant for people of all ages in Ukraine. Whether for a teenager who witnessed the loss of relatives, a teacher whose school was razed to the ground by an enemy missile, or students who had to flee abroad, because now they have no home in Ukraine. The team is also constantly keeping abreast of change so that it is possible to launch new projects based on the current needs of young people at this time. 

Information support

In addition to humanitarian assistance and educational projects, the Foundation helps by informing. We share the stories of Ukrainians and facts about the war with our international community. Also, the team helps young people find employment during this difficult time. As many people in Ukraine have lost their jobs, the Foundation supports them by sharing job opportunities within Ukraine and abroad through different channels.
