Our history
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.
The geography of activity has expanded to other regions of Ukraine – this is how the Charity Organization “Charity Foundation “Svitlana Legka’s “Svitlii” was created with new areas of activity. After the de-occupation of certain territories, the Foundation began to send large humanitarian supplies to various towns and cities of Ukraine: Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson regions. And the most important and necessary humanitarian aid was directed to the military at the front.
Our humanitarian aid warehouse has expanded to 1500 m2. Branches were opened in the Kyiv region with permanent representatives of the fund in the village of Novy Korohod of Buchansky district and village Krasna Slobidka, Obukhiv district.
