Supporting Kharkiv: Helping Survivors of Russian Aggression to Rebuild and Restore Lives

Sprouts of Hope Facts: Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Since February 24, 2022, Kharkiv has faced unprecedented challenges due to Russia’s military actions, which have included the indiscriminate bombing of residential areas and kindergartens, the leveling of cities, and the targeting of civilians. These brutal tactics are aimed at breaking the spirit of Ukraine—a nation staunchly fighting for its survival, democracy, and freedom.

Ukraine’s battle is not just for territorial integrity but for the core values of liberty and equality—a vision of a nation sovereign in the people. This conflict, one of the greatest wars on the European continent in recent times, tests the resilience and endurance of a nation conceived in freedom.

Sprouts of Hope stands firm with Ukraine. To support Kharkiv and its people, we are committed to providing essential aid and spearheading recovery efforts. Our mission is clear: to ensure the survival and rebuilding of Kharkiv, reinforcing the region’s safety, dignity, and hope. We believe that denying Ukraine’s right to freedom is akin to denying our own values and integrity.
