Nina Mikołaivna's family lived for several years in a rented apartment in Kyiv after losing their home in Druzhkivka. Now grandma and her granddaughters, 17-year-old Kateryna and 12-year-old Yulija, have their own housing again. The apartment for the family was purchased by the Lytvyn Foundation, founded by Ukrainian entrepreneur and philanthropist Volodymyr Lytvyn.
The documents have already been signed, and Nina Mikołaivna received the keys in person. A renovation and furnishing of the apartment lie ahead, after which the family will be able to move in.
Their family has faced what thousands of Ukrainians have encountered due to the full-scale war. The house in Druzhkivka was destroyed, and the family never received compensation for it. And in April 2022, tragedy struck: Kateryna and Yuliia's mother was killed during a Russian missile strike on the railway station in Kramatorsk. Katya has a disability resulting from a mine-explosion injury. Their aunt Olga took guardianship of the girls, while their grandmother Nina Mikołaivna remained beside her granddaughters.
The Lytvyn Foundation helps the family in partnership with the charitable fund "Right to Comfort" led by designer and architect Viktoriya Fainblat. The Volodymyr Lytvin Foundation took on the purchase of housing, and Viktoriya's team will handle the renovation and furnishing of the apartment with the family’s needs in mind.
Lytvyn Foundation supports Ukrainian youth
Helping the Druzhkivka family became part of the broader work of the Lytvyn Foundation. Volodymyr Lytvin founded an independent charitable initiative to create more educational, developmental, and idea-realization opportunities for Ukrainian youth.
Among Lytvyn Foundation programs are the free MindCraft online business school for teenagers 13–17 years old, Code The Future hackathons, a business club and a joint sports-educational program ONE POINT: Game. Mind. Future. The Foundation also runs AI marathons and summer entrepreneurial programs for young people, helping teenagers growing up in Ukraine during the war to develop and learn.
Providing housing for children who need it most is one of Lytvyn Foundation's social directions. The Foundation regards its own home as an important condition for the child's further development and a full life.
"Right to Comfort" will continue working with the family
The charity fund "Right to Comfort" by Viktoriya Fainblat focuses on renovating and equipping housing for children from low-income and single-parent families, adopted children, and children with disabilities.
In Nina Mikołaivna's apartment and her granddaughters' apartment, the fund's team will carry out the entire next stage: from renovation to creating a ready-to-live space. After that, the family will be able to move into their own home.
