President's wifeThe Ukraine 3000 International Charitable FundThe Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Fund is a non-governmental charitable organization founded in 2001. Creating this Foundation, we sought to make it as useful for Ukraine as possible. We tried to figure out our society’s most urgent needs in the vortex of modern life. Our conclusion was that people indispensably need to believe in certain prospects for the country, for their families, and for themselves, no matter how they picture these prospects. One needs to be certain that the period of instability and problems will come to an end, if one believes in the future with all one’s heart and puts much effort into building it up. This is precisely our goal: help Ukraine to build up her own future, become herself, and fulfill her global mission. The Foundation’s mission has been formulated based on this goal: promote the search for the best trajectory of development for the Ukrainian society and explain it to the Ukrainians. Personal participation by everyone, joint actions, work for the common good are the principles laying the basis for the Foundation’s activity. Our major aspiration is to disseminate these ideas, make them dominate in the society, and unite as many adherents of these ideas as possible. Every representative of the Ukrainian people has to understand that s/he is in the highlight, s/he is the main character, and much depends on her/his contribution. Our views are shared by tens of thousands of people and hundreds of organizations. They have succeeded themselves and are prepared to help their country. We are deeply grateful to all working with us and supporting us. Our joint action is very important, because due to it Ukraine is getting better every day. We invite everyone sharing our goals and principles to support our Foundation. Together we can do more! God bless Ukraine! Kateryna Yushchenko,
Functions and Authorities of the Governing Bodies Governing bodies of the Ukraine 3000 Foundation are the Supervisory Council of the Foundation and Board of Directors of the Foundation. The Supervisory Council approves strategic directions for the Foundation’s work and evaluates their implementation. The Foundation’s Supervisory Council members are globally renowned representatives of the national elite, whose work for the common good sets an example of commitment to the humanist ideals. The Board of Directors is a statutory executive organ of the Foundation. It exercises general management of the Foundation’s operations. The Board members are elected at the meetings of the Foundation's supreme governing body, the Conference, and are accountable to the Supervisory Board. Principles of the Foundation’s Work Major principles in the Foundation’s operation are openness, transparency, expedience, adequacy, effectiveness, equilibrium, predictability, and consideration of the public opinion. These principles are integrated into respective procedures and rules of the Foundation. Major decisions of the Foundation are made through consulting the experts and the public. The list and contents of single projects in the framework of general lines defined by the Supervisory Board are approved on the basis of recommendations by special Expert Councils, created by the Foundation on the open basis for every single program. The Foundation's Expert Councils include competent professionals, public figures, and scholars. Decisions to use the money for providing charity support are made by the Foundation’s Public Council for Humanitarian Issues, including members of other public and charitable organizations along with Ukrainian MPs and experts in various fields. Programs and Areas of Focus The Foundation’s activities are grouped into three directions: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, which suits our major principle: realize where we come from and what we strive for; understand the vector and dynamics of Ukraine's development; act now to get the result in the future. The Yesterday area includes programs dealing with archeological, ethnographic, and culture-related research along with preserving Ukraine’s historical and cultural heritage and promoting the knowledge about this country [globally]. The main goal of this area’s projects is preserve and protect the enormous resources accumulated in Ukraine for thousands of years and providing our contemporaries with information about it. The Today area is aimed immediately at implementing the Foundation’s major idea – encouraging maximum number of people able to help others and the country in general to work for the common good. Among this area’s priorities are perfecting Ukraine’s healthcare system, institutional development of charity and philanthropy as an occupation, support in solving the problem of homeless children. The Tomorrow area holds as its goal revealing and building up strategies for the country’s development, aimed at harmonious development of man and the world. The project will help Ukraine to define its mission, consciously seek and find its future way to secure stable development, observe human values, and give everyone a chance for self-fulfillment. The Yesterday Area The Foundation sees its mission as drawing public attention to major problems in the sphere of history and culture, preparing recommendations for their settling on the basis of open dialog, and putting them into practice. A nation that doesn’t learn lessons from the past has no future. This saying had repeatedly proved itself in various historical periods. Thus, we need to realize that our past, present, and future are inseparable links of the single chain of existence. Millions of links connect today’s Ukraine with the roots of our people, which has now got a unique chance to find its destination in this world. Ukraine’s history and culture present an inexhaustible source of creative energy and vitality, which will help us get over all obstacles on the way to the making of the young state. The priority now is to reveal this potential, turning it into a resource for the country’s development and directing it for the benefit of the Ukrainian society. The Foundation sees its mission as drawing public attention to major problems in the sphere of history and culture, preparing recommendations for their settling on the basis of open dialog, and putting them into practice. The Foundation’s priority in the Yesterday area is support for the projects aimed at:
The Foundation's activities in this fields are grouped into two major programs: Unique Ukraine, aimed at protecting, studying, and popularizing concrete monuments of Ukraine’s material and spiritual culture (museum collections, architectural, archeological, and historical sites, folk traditions and crafts, etc.) The Lessons of History, envisaging work with complex phenomena or periods in history and culture in order to interpret and appraise them from contemporary viewpoint. The Today Area This area envisages implementing programs and projects to resolve acute current problems. In 2004, major emphasis in this area was placed on individual charitable support to the neediest: the disabled, war veterans, families with many children, orphaned children, etc. The decision on granting charitable support is made by the Foundation’s Humanitarian Council. Besides, the Foundation has launched a series of projects to support the freedom of speech and develop free press in Ukraine. Since 2005, the Foundation discontinued providing individual support. At present, our priorities are systemic infrastructural projects. This Foundation's decision allows to concentrate its resources and effort on the selected areas and provide high-quality support to the broader sections of the public. Among the Foundation’s priorities is providing support to orphaned children and contribution into the fight against children’s homelessness in Ukraine. We strive to create conditions for a happy childhood for these children, giving them a chance to obtain education and become full-fledged members of the society. To help children with special needs, in late 2005 the Joy of Childhood – Free Movements program started its work. Special attention is given to the protection of mothers and children and perfecting the network of medical care and rehabilitation institutions for children. On May 19, 2005, the Hospital to Hospital program was officially launched. Since at present Ukrainian healthcare system lacks facilities for fighting certain diseases, the Foundation is working on creating a Children’s Hospital of the Future in Kyiv. Strong emphasis is also placed on institutional development of charity and philanthropy in Ukraine, namely:
The consolidated effort of philanthropists, charitable organizations, the state, and state institutions will enable us to solve many urgent problems and improve living standards in Ukraine. Tomorrow area The Tomorrow area consists of a system of interrelated projects sharing a common goal: determine Ukraine's role and place in the global community from the viewpoint of human development, consciously seek and choose Ukraine’s future on its way of combining spirituality and welfare, implicit observing human rights, and accomplishing the UN’s Millennium Development Goals. This area envisages broad public discussion of and forming a strategy for Ukraine’s development, aimed at harmonious development of the person and the country. The Foundation’s work in the Tomorrow area was caused by understanding of the fact that an effective modern state is based upon high legitimacy of the state power, citizens’ trust, and public consent about the direction in which this country should move. The basis of the Foundation’s work in this direction is the Public Strategy of Ukraine’s Development project. Its goal is defining the Ukrainians’ system of values, considering the fact that the society and state should concentrate their attention on the people. A natural sequel to this work is the project titled Human Development in Ukraine and Abroad: A Look into the Future. This project’s major task is help the society to define and realize the strategy for harmonious development of a person and the country in the civilized world. The project is to launch a process of renewing value system for people and the country; favor filling the sources for human development, implement systemic approach to reflecting real process of human development, and create new criteria and indicators for evaluation of the country’s and society’s successful development. The project’s result is to be documented in a strategy and a series of documents, adopted at a public forum, outlining Ukraine’s future aimed at harmonious human development. The Tomorrow area envisages a permanent forum for discussing and elaborating decisions dealing with Ukraine’s future and expressing public opinion on the issues of Ukraine’s and Ukrainians’ development. This area is meant to become one of the instruments to secure and implement global partnership for achieving the global community’s goals and agreements regarding the development of the people and the environment: the Millennium Development Goals, stable human development, and renewing global harmony.
