Working together 24/7 and standing up to the occupiers with dignity!
The largest civil society organisation in the Skadovsk district and the Kherson region, uniting a new generation of leaders.
Support us
Since 2011 we have been one of the largest and most active organisations in the Skadovsk district and the Kherson region. Our work focused on developing civil society and getting young people involved in active public life.
On 24 February 2022, the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion, we quickly refocused our work and began providing humanitarian aid to the people of the Kherson region.
Today speed and flexibility are critical for us — and this is exactly where your support makes a difference.
We provide financial assistance to individuals and organisations so that we can respond quickly to urgent needs. To do this, we constantly need to replenish our resources — and we need your financial support.
Our team coordinates several local aid centres in the Kherson region (Skadovsk, Kalanchak, Kakhovka, Lazurne) and provides people affected by the fighting with essentials: food, medicines and transport.
We work with local authorities, a network of volunteers and partner organisations. To keep the work stable, we run several independent aid supply channels, so that any one of them can be replaced quickly if needed.
We make payments to help individuals and organisations meet needs as they arise. We constantly need to replenish our resources — and we need your financial support.

Skadovsk is a small port town in the south of the Kherson region, on the Black Sea coast. Before 2022 it was home to around 14,000 people, with a working sea port and thousands of holidaymakers from all over Ukraine every year.
Today the town is under occupation. This is where our organisation’s story began — and this is where we are preparing to return.

These photos are proof of our many years of work and of life in Skadovsk before the war. Our goal today is to bring in as many resources and sponsors as possible, so that rebuilding can start the moment the town is liberated. Join us in this work.

Let’s rebuild Ukraine’s South together: we bring communities together in Lviv to bring the way home closer!
The SOUTH Cultural Hub — in full, the SOUTH Cultural and Community Centre — is the relocation project of Light House — Home of Bright Ideas and the Dzharylhach Island Museum (founded in Skadovsk in 2020 and 2021). SOUTH is a living platform where experience of working with liberated territories meets Lviv’s potential to design the future of Ukraine’s South. We have not simply preserved our institutions — we have turned them into a foundation for return and recovery. We work to a unique model in which humanitarian aid and cultural strategy are inseparable parts of one process:
Become part of our strength: from emergency evacuation to systematic support for every corner of the Kherson region.
Seeing the danger grow, at the end of June 2022 our Young and Initiative team launched a humanitarian evacuation mission. We organised the safe evacuation of civilians from hotspots and frontline towns of the region, including Kherson, Skadovsk, Kalanchak, Kakhovka and Lazurne. The mission is called Berehynia — in Ukrainian tradition, the guardian who protects the home and the family.
While our home waits to be liberated, we bring back hope: homes rebuilt by the hands of unbreakable Ukrainians.
While our native Skadovsk waits to be liberated, the Young and Initiative team is widening its support. We understand that people need not only humanitarian aid but a roof over their heads as well. That is why we launched the Workshop of the Unbroken — an initiative to rebuild and repair homes damaged by the fighting.
A space where young people and active citizens find the tools for self-fulfilment, for preserving culture and for bringing bright ideas to life.
Light House — Home of Bright Ideas is a modern community and youth centre, created to energise society and bring like-minded people together around important social initiatives. It is a space for growth, where everyone can gain unique experience, make new connections and become part of meaningful change in the community.
Strengthening mental health and helping children and teenagers adapt — in frontline communities and in communities that are new to them.
The project works to improve the mental health and emotional stability of children and teenagers who have been forced to move to other communities, and of those still living in frontline ones, and to help them settle into a new environment.
We have built a network of the largest online communities in the Skadovsk area to bring people together, keep in touch with home, promote our region and record its history. Join our communities on Facebook!
