The Andriy Matyukha Foundation continues to implement projects that combine healthcare, culture, and social responsibility. According to the foundation, charity today is not just about crisis aid — it is a tool for shaping the future.
Recently, the foundation donated a modern Thompson surgical system to the National Children's Hospital Ohmatdyt. This equipment — one of the most advanced on the market — enables surgeries to be performed with high precision, significantly reducing risks for the most vulnerable patients. The initiative was implemented thanks to the cooperation of the Andriy Matyukha Foundation with the charitable organization Good Donations. The total cost of the project amounted to 2.22 million hryvnias.
“Our duty is to give doctors the tools that truly save lives. Ukrainian children deserve treatment according to world standards. We must do everything possible to make these standards accessible here, in our country,” said Andriy Matyukha.
Support for culture is no less important than help for hospitals. In April, the ORIGAMI for UKRAINE installation appeared on the facade of the Museum of the History of Kyiv. These are 5,000 paper birds created by children from the Youth Palace, which became symbols of support, hope, and unity. The goal of the initiative is to raise funds for the Center for Rehabilitation Medicine, with the Matyukha Foundation as a key partner.
“Art unites. And in difficult times, it becomes a resource. Our foundation supports such projects not only for their aesthetic value but also for their ability to change society,” says Andriy Matyukha.
The Birds of Hope installation, created with the support of Andriy Matyukha, is not just an artistic gesture but also an example of cultural diplomacy that connects Kyiv and Brussels. The art object will remain on the facade for three months and will serve as a vivid reminder that symbols can be stronger than words.
Andriy Matyukha is a Ukrainian philanthropist and entrepreneur who advocates for socially responsible business practices. His philosophy is not just about providing help but about actively engaging in solving social issues. The areas he supports include healthcare, culture, sports, and education.
“We believe that charity should become part of the system, not just a response to a crisis. It should be embedded in our vision of the future,” Matyukha emphasized.
