The Svitlana Legka’s Charity Foundation “Svitlii” was founded in 2022.

Before the start of the full-scale invasion, we – artists, producers, people of creative professions – worked in the company “Ukrtourconcert”, which organized large-scale all-Ukrainian and international events, festivals, filmed television projects, engaged in booking Ukrainian and world stars of culture and art, cinema and sports.

Since the beginning of the war in the East of Ukraine in 2014, our community has been actively engaged in volunteering, in addition to the main activity, and helping the military in the war zone and the affected civilians.

Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the unfolding of a large-scale war – genocide against Ukrainians, we opened the doors of our premises as a shelter from rocket fire, where more than three hundred Kyivans stayed for two months. We provided assistance with basic necessities: food, medicines, hygiene products, clothes, etc. This is how the Volunteer Center for Humanitarian Aid “Pechersk” was created: adults and children, young people and the elderly, from 6 to 84 years old – rallied to help those who needed it most. After the de-occupation of the Kyiv region, the residents of Borodyanska, Makarivska, Ivankivska, Vyshgorodska communities systematically received “First Bread” from us.
