Strategy that gives direction. A plan that gives movement.

We have started working on the Strategic and Operational Plans of the “Let's See The Victory” Charity Foundation to make our activities even more systematic, transparent, and effective.

For us, these are not just documents.
They represent a clear vision of:
🔹 where we are heading
🔹 what goals we are setting
🔹 how we will support people who have lost their vision, both today and in the future

Strong organizations are the foundation of a strong civil society.
And a strong civil society is a driver of reforms and democracy in Ukraine 🇺🇦

We are grateful for the support and the opportunity to grow professionally in order to do even more meaningful work 💙

Light can be lost in a second.
But it can only be restored together

After a severe injury, serviceman Vitalii is at risk of losing his vision completely.
The only remaining eye requires a corneal transplant.

This is a complex surgery, but it can preserve his ability to see the world, the people around him, and his future.

We opened a fundraising campaign for his treatment.
🎯 UAH 52,580 — an amount that can save his sight.

Support us with a donation or by sharing this post.
Light depends on those who care 🤍

January 24 is a special date for the “Let's See The Victory” Charity Foundation. This is the day our story began three years ago.

Three years is only the beginning. Together, we can achieve much more!

Over the past three years we have:

• • Paid for the production of 181 ocular prostheses;
• • Conducted dozens of educational and training sessions;
• • Provided 40 keratobioimplants;
• • Co-financed 5 rehabilitation camps for blind veterans;

• Organized training for people with disabilities, supplied blind veterans with white canes and assistive technologies, delivered gifts and support initiatives for our defenders.

We have many people to thank:

• To Anna Purtova for creating a space where ideas are born and good initiatives become reality;
• To the NGO “Modern View” for the opportunity to do good together;
• To numerous partners for their consistent support and trust;
• And to every person who joins our fundraising efforts, shares information, and chooses not to stand aside.

Thanks to the support of A-Bank and caring individuals, we were able to raise UAH 300,000 in charitable funds.
With this funding, we purchased 20 cosmetic eye prostheses for veterans with complete vision loss.

Every contribution represents real assistance and a step toward restoring the quality of life of our defenders.
We sincerely thank A-Bank for their trust and support.

Recently, we held an educational meeting for the Ukrainian team of Santen OY, dedicated to the topic of veterans who have lost their vision.

We spoke about what often remains “behind the scenes” in medicine — the real life after vision loss.

About how combat-related eye injuries change not only a person’s physical condition, but their entire life: daily routines, emotions, relationships, and their sense of place in society. We discussed the journey of acceptance, adaptation, and finding new support systems.

Special attention was given to the psychological state of blind veterans and the importance of seeing not just a diagnosis in a patient, but a person with experience, pain, and strength.

It was important for us to share practical experience and explain why work in ophthalmology is not only about treating eyes, but also about quality of life after vision loss.

We sincerely thank the entire Santen OY team for their willingness to better understand the needs of veterans who have lost their sight. Real change begins with this kind of understanding.

A Holiday Made Possible Thanks to You 🎄💛

50 veterans received holiday gifts.
For some, it was a pleasant surprise; for others, a warm gesture of care; and for many, a reminder that they are not forgotten.

Together with the NGO “Modern View", it was important for us not only to deliver gifts, but to create a sense of celebration, support, and human warmth.

All of this became possible thanks to you.
Thanks to the people who joined our holiday fundraising raffle, supported us, believed in us, and chose to stand with us. Every hryvnia turned into care, every contribution into real emotions and smiles of our defenders 🤍

For veterans, moments like these carry special value. They restore a sense of trust in the world and remind them that their journey has not gone unnoticed.

We sincerely thank everyone who became part of this initiative.
Together, we can create small celebrations that truly carry great meaning 💛💙

We held an educational session for All Together Jobs.
We discussed the employment of blind veterans: the challenges they face, the conditions that truly matter, and how to make work processes more accessible and understandable.
We shared our experience of working with blind veterans, practical case studies, and what genuinely helps to support people after the war—not just in words, but in action.
For us, this is about equal opportunities, respect, and real steps toward an inclusive labor market in Ukraine.
We sincerely thank All Together Jobs for their openness to dialogue and their commitment to changing the approach to employment 💙
