21 October at the Taras Shevchenko Borodyanka Palace of Culture the official presentation of the charitable organization “Charitable Foundation ‘Restoring Borodyanka’” 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 given 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 Borodyanka’s future and prospects for cooperation.
Speakers invited included the head of the Charitable Foundation “Restoring Borodyanka,” Yevhen Kalenskyi; co-founder of the Foundation Oleksandr Badrudinov — head of PJSC “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; co-founder of the Foundation Yevhen Burlyka — patron and public figure; chairman of the board of JSC “Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital’” Yevhen Chechil, ultimate beneficial owner of JSC “Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital’” Serhii Bielashov, and Borodyanka settlement head Oleksandr Sakharuk. Among the guests were also Dzhabrail Mirzoev — head of the socio-political movement “Caucasian Union” and a Foundation partner; and an active serviceman with the call sign “Tuman.”
“We don’t say that we are only starting, because that’s what newly formed foundations usually say. We are already working, and I am confident that we will implement the first projects together with the Borodyanka settlement council. I express great respect to settlement head Oleksandr Sakharuk, all the deputies, residents, and our friends who join with words, deeds, and sincere attitudes. Our first projects will be aimed at preserving memory and, of course, our future — our children. We want to work in a way that we won’t be ashamed before people and our own families,” said Yevhen Kalenskyi, head of the Charitable Foundation “Restoring Borodyanka.”
“Today we started a very good deed — we presented the Charitable Foundation ‘Restoring Borodyanka,’ which will work for the benefit of this community, one of the first to take the blow of Russian aggression,” said co-founder Oleksandr Badrudinov.
“Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital’ is pleased to join the good cause and the work of the Charitable Foundation ‘Restoring Borodyanka.’ 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 ‘Restoring Borodyanka’ invited us to join this effort,” said Yevhen Chechil, chairman of the board of JSC “Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital’.”
“Borodyanka is a special town because it was a kind of frontier before the invasion of the Russian Federation. We, Kyiv residents, must understand what Borodyanka did for all of us. Once again I want to express great gratitude to the head of the Foundation, its co-founders, the community, and the settlement head,” said co-founder Yevhen Burlyka.
“Today I personally, as a shareholder of Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital,’ participated in the charitable event organized by the Charitable Foundation ‘Restoring Borodyanka.’ Among the towns and settlements of Kyiv region, Borodyanka, Bucha, and Hostomel suffered the most from Russian aggression and the hostilities that took place in this region. The goal of this campaign is to raise funds for the primary task: the restoration of the pediatric outpatient clinic and the children’s hospital. This is precisely what the community needs today,” emphasized ultimate beneficial owner of JSC “Bank ‘Ukrainian Capital’” Serhii 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 concern every person, every settlement of our territorial community. After all, this is for the people and about the people,” said Borodyanka settlement head Oleksandr Sakharuk.
“At 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 a deep bow to you, community! May your resilience serve as 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 partnership, support of the organization’s activities, and contribution to joint initiatives aimed at restoring the Borodyanka 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 Borodyanka’s future.
The program was complemented by an exhibition from the First Regional Art Plein Air of Ukrainian artists “Code of Invincibility: from Ashes to Painting,” dedicated to Borodyanka. The artists’ works reflect the community’s experienced pain and, at the same time, its aspiration for renewal.
The musical program of the event was provided by local performers Artem Semenov, Liudmyla Potapenko, and Yuliia Kuvshynova.
The Charitable Foundation “Restoring Borodyanka” thanks all participants, partners, and donors for their support and readiness to join the community’s reconstruction. “For the people, by the people, about the people” is the principle that unites the Foundation’s team and defines the direction of its work.
