BF “Vidnovlennia Borodianky” presented its activities

21 October at the Taras Shevchenko Borodianka Palace of Culture the official presentation of the charitable organization “Charitable Foundation ‘Vidnovlennia Borodianky’” took place.

The Foundation’s motto — “For the people, by the people, about the people” — reflects its main goal: to unite efforts for the reconstruction and development of the community.

During the event the organization’s mission, main areas of activity, and strategic projects were presented. Special attention was paid to supporting people in need, in particular the families of prisoners of war and missing defenders. The presentation was an opportunity to outline a shared vision for Borodianka’s future and prospects for cooperation.

Speakers included the head of the Charitable Foundation “Vidnovlennia Borodianky,” Yevhen Kalenskyi; Foundation co-founder Oleksandr Badrudinov — head of PrJSC “Regional Aviation Center” and of the “Association for the Development of Aviation of Ukraine,” organizer and coordinator of projects for the development of aviation infrastructure and defense-oriented technologies; Foundation co-founder Yevhen Burlyka — philanthropist and public figure; Chair of the Management Board of JSC “Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital’” Yevhen Chechil, ultimate beneficial owner of JSC “Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital’” Serhiy Bielashov; and Borodianka settlement head Oleksandr Sakharuk. Among the guests were Dzhabrail Mirzoev — head of the civic-political movement “Caucasian Union” and a partner of the Foundation; and an active serviceman with the call sign “Tuman.”

“We do not say that we are only starting out, because that is usually how newly created funds describe themselves. We are already working, and I am confident that we will implement our first projects jointly with the Borodianka settlement council. I express great respect to settlement head Oleksandr Sakharuk, to all the deputies, residents, and our friends who contribute with words, deeds, and sincere attitudes. Our first projects will be aimed at preserving memory and, of course, at our future — our children. We want to work in a way that we will not be ashamed in front of people and our own families,” said Yevhen Kalenskyi, head of the Charitable Foundation “Vidnovlennia Borodianky.”

“Today we started a very good cause — we presented the Charitable Foundation ‘Vidnovlennia Borodianky,’ which will work for the benefit of this community, one of the first to bear the brunt of Russian aggression,” said Foundation co-founder Oleksandr Badrudinov.

“Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital’ is pleased to join this good cause and the work of the Charitable Foundation ‘Vidnovlennia Borodianky.’ The stork depicted on the Foundation’s logo is always associated by Ukrainians with great hopes for something good and new, with the birth of dreams. We are very pleased that the Charitable Foundation ‘Vidnovlennia Borodianky’ invited us to take part in this endeavor,” said Chair of the Management Board of JSC “Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital’” Yevhen Chechil.

“Borodianka is a special town because it was a kind of frontline before the invasion of the Russian Federation. We, residents of Kyiv, must understand what Borodianka did for all of us. Once again I want to express my great gratitude to the head of the Foundation, its co-founders, the community, and the settlement head,” said Foundation co-founder Yevhen Burlyka.

“Today I personally, as a shareholder of Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital,’ took part in the charitable action organized by the Charitable Foundation ‘Vidnovlennia Borodianky.’ Among the towns and settlements of Kyiv region, Borodianka, Bucha, and Hostomel suffered the most from Russian aggression and the hostilities that took place in this region. The goal of this action is to raise funds for the initial task: the restoration of the children’s outpatient clinic and the children’s hospital. This is exactly what the community needs today,” emphasized the ultimate beneficial owner of JSC “Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital’” Serhiy Bielashov.

“Today is, without exaggeration, a landmark event, because we are all united by a single goal — to help our citizens. And I am pleased that together with the initiators of this Foundation we will soon achieve a common goal that will affect every person, every settlement of our territorial community. After all, this is for the people and about the people,” said Borodianka settlement head Oleksandr Sakharuk.

“On the front you do your job and hope that someday you will be remembered. After all, a person lives as long as they are remembered. So my deep bow to you, community! May your resilience become an example for other active and true patriots,” said the active serviceman with the call sign “Tuman.”

The Foundation expressed special thanks to Bank “Ukrainian Capital” for the partnership, support of the organization’s activities, and contribution to joint initiatives aimed at restoring the Borodianka community.

An important part of the event was the symbolic action “Seed of the Future.” Foundation leadership, partners, and community representatives placed seeds into a commemorative capsule, symbolizing revival, growth, and faith in Borodianka’s future.

The program was complemented by an exhibition of the First Regional Art Plein Air of Ukrainian artists “Code of Resilience: from Ashes to Painting,” dedicated to Borodianka. The artists’ works reflect the community’s experienced pain and at the same time its aspiration for revival.

The musical program of the event was provided by local performers Artem Semenov, Liudmyla Potapenko, and Yuliia Kuvshynova.

The BF ‘Vidnovlennia Borodianky’ thanks all participants, partners, and benefactors for their support and willingness to join in the community’s reconstruction. “For the people, by the people, about the people” — the principle that unites the Foundation’s team and defines the direction of its work.
