Make it Real Foundation, founded in 2022 by Peter and Kateryna Kolomiets, is a charitable organization that aims to support various categories of people. Our Foundation focuses on orphans, children from low-income families, and families temporarily displaced from the war zone. It also pays special attention to veterans, participants in hostilities, their families and official representatives.
The Foundation's mission is to create opportunities for every child to feel cared for and loved by their parents or guardian, contributing to their happy childhood and prosperous future. Taking care of veterans, their families and partners, the Foundation offers comprehensive assistance at all stages of reintegration into civilian life. This assistance covers various aspects, such as legal issues, medical and social rehabilitation for veterans and their families, retraining, education, job search, or even running a business.
Make it Real Foundation is defined by a deeply fulfilled mission to support and develop all those who need our help and attention.
