"INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT OF UNITY" is the first Ukrainian charitable foundation with a certificate of international standard ISO 37301 and SIC. SDGs:2022

Activities of a charitable organization that unites thousands of people

"INTERNATIONAL UNITY MOVEMENT" is a charitable foundation founded to support the army in the fight against Russian aggression and ordinary people in need of help in wartime.
After 2 years of full-scale war, given the country’s mine contamination, which has reached 30% of the area, is constantly growing and threatens the population, the foundation’s team has launched active activities in the field of mine safety.

Currently, the "INTERNATIONAL UNITY MOVEMENT" Foundation works in three main areas:

1. Assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine — we direct our efforts to fundraising, purchasing and transferring humanitarian aid at the official request of the commanders of military units: ammunition, equipment, computer equipment, drones, reconnaissance and communication equipment.
2. Humanitarian demining — we help provide Ukrainian sappers with equipment and equipment for demining, develop an application for mine alert and combine the efforts of the largest mobile operators for this purpose.
3. Social support — we provide humanitarian aid to the civilian population, raise funds for the restoration of schools and the treatment of children, and also set up a production for sewing adaptive clothing for wounded soldiers.

This became possible thanks to the unity of caring Ukrainians and reliable partners who constantly support the foundation’s initiatives with charitable contributions. And this is more than 13 thousand individuals and companies! We are proud that the foundation has managed to unite a large community of philanthropists and we greatly appreciate everyone’s support. And we also respect it and prove it with daily and transparent work.

It is important for us that every Ukrainian who wants to support the foundation with a donation does not doubt for a minute the responsibility and nobility of the charitable organization. Our foundation provides open access to a package of registration documents on the official website, reports on the receipt and use of benefactors’ funds in real time, as well as collects funds at the official request of commanders and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, purchases and transfers material and technical means on the basis of the Act of Acceptance and Transfer of Charitable Assistance.

Fortunately, the volunteer movement does not subside. However, as the scale of charity grows, so does the level of public distrust in many organizations. Sometimes we receive such messages and treat them responsibly, because we strive to fully meet the expectations of society:



In order to improve the effectiveness of charitable activities and strengthen the community’s trust in the foundation, we have passed the certification procedure in the international SIC system for compliance of our management system with the requirements of the international standard ISO 37301 and SIC.
