Andrii Matiukha Foundation: Supporting Veterans, Humanitarian Projects, and Ukrainian Hospitals
The Andrii Matiukha Foundation consistently develops its own charitable programs. Its priorities include supporting military personnel and veterans, assisting Ukrainian hospitals, and advancing prosthetics development. In addition, the Andrii Matiukha Foundation actively promotes international projects that strengthen Ukraine’s cooperation with other countries.
Andrii Matiukha Foundation Supports the “Ye-Protez” Service for People After Amputations
“Ye-Protez” has become one of the key projects supported by the Andrii Matiukha Foundation. The online platform simplifies the process of obtaining a prosthesis by combining consultations, model selection, financing, and rehabilitation stages. Users can find clinics, get expert advice, and join support programs.
Development of “Ye-Protez” began in 2024 with a pilot launch that included a knowledge base, a website, and a Telegram bot. The next stage will be a full-fledged application integrated with government services and partner foundations.
The project is built on principles of inclusivity and modern technology. The chatbot incorporates artificial intelligence, providing responses in a clear and accessible format. The knowledge base is constantly updated, and user feedback is taken into account. The Andrii Matiukha Foundation emphasizes that the service will remain useful even after the war ends.
In the near future, the team plans to engage at least 5,000 users, helping half of them complete the full process — from the first consultation to prosthesis installation.
Andrii Matiukha Foundation Supports the “Protection of Ukrenergo Repair Workers” Program
The program focuses on training technical staff and repair teams in first aid skills for critical situations. As part of the initiative, 75 one-day training sessions are planned for 1,500 energy workers. Participants learn to stop bleeding, apply tourniquets correctly, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and quickly assess the condition of injured individuals.
Since the start of the full-scale war, Ukraine’s energy system has been under constant threat. Over 63,000 facilities have been damaged, at least 160 employees have died, and more than 300 were injured. Repair workers face daily risks while working on power lines and substations, making first aid skills essential. This is why the Andrii Matiukha Foundation emphasizes support for such initiatives.
Modern Instruments for a Children’s Hospital from the Andrii Matiukha Foundation
Supporting medical institutions is one of the key areas of the foundation’s work. In 2025, the urgent surgery department of Okhmatdyt received Ligasure Mariland and Ligasure Exact instruments with nanocoating, enabling surgeons to perform both laparoscopic and open surgeries more effectively.
Each year, the hospital conducts approximately 800 complex operations, making such equipment essential. Thanks to the Andrii Matiukha Foundation’s support, over 60 successful surgeries were performed in just a few months.
Previously, with the Andrii Matiukha Foundation’s assistance, doctors received the modern Thompson system for open surgeries. Since then, surgeons have performed over a hundred operations, emphasizing that this technology has become indispensable in daily practice.
Sports for a Good Cause: “Buy a Lot” Helps Children
The Andrii Matiukha Foundation supported the charitable auction project “Buy a Lot”, aimed at building an inclusive sports playground in Zhytomyr for a children’s rehabilitation and palliative care center.
All of this is aimed at creating opportunities for the development of children who need special attention. Andrii Matiukha believes that combining sports and charity has a special value, benefiting both the participants and the children for whom these events are organized.
Origami for Ukraine: Combining Art and Support for Ukrainian Military Personnel
The Origami for Ukraine installation is an example of how art can become a real instrument of charity. Over 5,000 metallic birds have adorned the facade of the Kyiv Museum since spring 2025. The project was created by Belgian designer Charles Kaisin, with Ukrainian schoolchildren participating in the work.
The initiative’s goal is to raise funds to support wounded military personnel. Anyone can contribute by making a donation or purchasing a symbolic bird for 10 euros. The project has already raised over 50,000 euros, which will be directed to Kyiv’s military rehabilitation center.
The Andrii Matiukha Foundation played an active role in this humanitarian initiative. Thanks to the support of philanthropists, the project connected Kyiv and Brussels, attracting the attention of residents and tourists alike. Andrii Matiukha emphasizes that such cultural events have the power to change lives and give hope.
Systematic Work of the Andrii Matiukha Foundation with a View to the Future
The Andrii Matiukha Foundation implements initiatives across various areas, all united by a common goal — laying the foundation for long-term change. Each project develops new approaches to assistance.
“Assistance should be the foundation for the future. The Foundation has all the resources to look far ahead and act systematically,” emphasizes Andrii Matiukha.
