FATHER’S HOUSE · UKRAINE
We began by helping people through the first months of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Today, working with volunteers and partners, we provide modular homes and practical support to Ukrainian families rebuilding their daily lives.
Our Story
When Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, we — Viktoriia and Sergiy Lysak — decided to stay in Ukraine. Friends and volunteers joined us, and together we began helping people facing urgent needs.
We brought food, medicine, sleeping bags and sleeping mats to people sheltering from attacks in Kyiv’s metro stations. We provided clothing, shoes and food for those defending Kyiv, and hygiene supplies, medicines and baby food for medical facilities.
After the Kyiv region was liberated, we joined efforts to restore damaged housing. With the help of partners and donors, we delivered our first modular homes in May 2022 to people who had lost their houses. The work later extended to Kherson and Kharkiv regions.
We support families with children, older people and people with disabilities. A modular home gives someone a separate space for daily life again; where needed, we also help furnish homes with essential items.
356
modular homes installed

Behind each of these homes is a family with its own story.
