The BlueCheck Ukraine Grant will enable the
Vovk Foundation to deploy several modular kitchens for internally
displaced persons in Ukraine.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va., Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The Vovk Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization
established in 2023 to offer assistance and support to Ukrainians
and those of Ukrainian ancestry, is pleased to announce that it has
secured a significant grant of approximately USD $30,000.00 from BlueCheck Ukraine to support
its work in Ukraine. This grant
will bolster the deployment of modular kitchens for Internally
Displaced Persons (IDPs).
Since the devastating onset of the conflict in Ukraine, approximately 5.1 million people have
been internally displaced, encountering severe hardships. The
escalation of the conflict, especially near Avdiivka and in western
villages like Pokrovsk, has significantly strained local resources
with a rising number of IDPs. The Vovk Foundation has been at the
forefront, addressing these urgent needs through innovative
solutions like its portable, fuel-efficient, and durable modular
kitchens. Successfully tested to serve over 100 people each, these
kitchens are crucial for communities overwhelmed by the influx of
displaced families. With the new funding, the Foundation plans to
acquire four additional kitchens for critical regions, enhancing
its capability to provide immediate and essential services to those
in need. These kitchens, once fully operational, will provide meals
for a minimum of 2500 people weekly.
"BlueCheck Ukraine's support significantly enhances our ability
to assist displaced communities in Ukraine," said Yurij
Wowczuk, Director of the Vovk Foundation. "The modular
kitchens have been a lifeline for many families, and with this
funding, we can ensure that more people have access to nutritious
meals as Russia's aggression
continues."
With this generous grant from BlueCheck Ukraine, the Vovk
Foundation is set to expand its impact, providing vital services to
communities and individuals most affected by Russia's war against Ukraine. The Foundation remains committed to
its mission of supporting the resilience and future growth of
Ukraine through these challenging
times.
