The Ukraine Prosthetic Initiative is a cost-effective humanitarian effort aimed at providing comprehensive care and support to a large population (80,000+) of Ukrainians whose lives have been forever altered by limb loss resulting from war-related injuries. Our mission is to ensure these individuals not only regain their independence but also reintegrate into society.
Through strong international partnerships with prosthetic specialists, manufacturers, physical therapists, and mental health professionals, the initiative delivers specialized training and hands-on care to empower local healthcare professionals and improve access to prosthetic care and rehabilitation services.
By implementing a "train the trainer" program and fostering collaboration between international and local stakeholders, the initiative aims to enhance the quality of life, mobility, and independence of individuals affected by limb loss in Ukraine, ultimately transforming lives and building a more inclusive and supportive society.
There are several ways in which you can contribute to the cause of helping wounded Ukrainians regain their mobility. One possibility is to consider sponsorship, where you can fund a team that will journey to Ukraine and offer treatment to around ten people who require assistance. The cost for sponsoring the entire team amounts to $16,000, or alternatively, you can choose to sponsor an individual team member for $4,000.
Additionally, if you have experience in the medical field or prosthetics, your expertise would be greatly appreciated in forming a medical and prosthetic team. Your contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of those who require specialized care to regain their independence and mobility.

We are excited to share the incredible achievements from our last mission that happened in March 2024 in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, in collaboration with our partners Protez Hub and Enhancing Skills for Life:
These accomplishments have been life-changing for many, and we couldn’t have done it without your support.
Renown figure skating champion, Lolita Yermak, has joined Volia to create a fundraising event, “Skate for Ukraine: The Forest Song”, which will take place on August 17, 2024 at the Kraken Arena in Seattle.
100% of the funds raised during this event will go towards prosthetic and rehabilitation care for wounded Ukrainians. The event promises to be a spectacular evening of entertainment and philanthropy, attracting a diverse audience and media сoverage. The key performers of this event will be Ukrainian figure skating medalists and junior medalists who will come to Seattle to join us in this great cause.
We invite you to attend as our guest and participate in making a significant impact on the lives of individuals requiring prosthetic limbs to live an independent life.
