Charitable Foundation "Pledge"

Since 2008, the charitable foundation "Pledge" provides comprehensive assistance to families with children overcoming serious illnesses so that they are not alone in their experience.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life of children and their families by providing humane and comprehensive assistance during treatment, rehabilitation and in times of crisis.

Times change, but humanity as a component of our assistance remains unchanged

We started our business in 2008. to help families whose children have serious illnesses, including cancer. However, the full-scale war has made adjustments to the foundation's activities. Starting in 2022, we decided to channel our powerful professional experience into new areas to support Ukrainians affected by war and danger in their own homes.

Times change, but our approach remains unchanged - to help people overcome life's challenges, so that they feel their own value and dignity during treatment and in times of crisis. Every area of our activity is about human care that helps people heal from physical and psychological trauma.
