ABOUT US
Funding Lifesaving Care for Ukraine's Children
The Ukrainian Women's Association of America (UWAA) is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization united to provide displaced and vulnerable Ukrainian kids with direct humanitarian aid and the healthy childhoods they deserve.
Who We Are & What We Do
Supporting Ukraine's Next Generation
With a growing network of dedicated advocates, mothers, and professionals, UWAA is a powerful community standing brave with the children of Ukraine.
How We Fill the Void
UWAA works tirelessly to bridge this gap. We raise vital funds through generous donor contributions, grants, and community-driven projects.
The Humanitarian Gap
With the Ukrainian government necessarily redirecting resources to soldiers fighting for the nation's freedom, a critical humanitarian funding gap has been left behind for the country's most vulnerable civilians.
Direct Impact on the Ground
Every dollar raised is strategically directed to trusted, on-the-ground organizations in Ukraine, providing immediate, life-saving medical care and emergency shelter to children and their caretakers.
Our Story: From Grassroots to Global Impact
Our roots go back long before the current crisis. For years, a dedicated group of Ukrainian women living in the United States worked collaboratively to fund hospitals and newborn intensive care units across Ukraine.
Seeing the escalating wartime need and recognizing the power of our united efforts, we officially founded the Ukrainian Women's Association of America in 2022. Today, we have transformed from a grassroots group of friends into a driving force for pediatric medical relief, critical infrastructure, and long-term emergency response in Ukraine.
