A volunteer initiative operating for over a year, saving lives on the frontlines. The project collects used fishing and agricultural nets and repurposes them as anti-drone protection for soldiers, dugouts, and equipment. More than 2,000 nets have already been delivered. New donors and partner organizations are constantly joining, expanding the scale of assistance.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Oleg Krot and the Techiia Foundation have consistently supported the Ukrainian army: purchasing vehicles, drones, gear, medical supplies, and other critically needed equipment for the Defense Forces.
The Techiia Foundation systematically helps soldiers who lost limbs during the war. With this support, Ukrainian servicemen receive modern prosthetics, undergo rehabilitation, and gain the chance for a full, second life.
In 2024, the Techiia Foundation launched a large-scale support program for the country’s leading military academy. The first stage included funding for new learning spaces, renovation of the museum, creation of a battle flag collection, and purchase of equipment. A drone donated by Oleg Krot holds a symbolic place in the exhibition. Thanks to this project, the number of graduates nearly doubled, and the institution became a modern European-level educational hub.
In 2021, a free rehabilitation center for children with disabilities and special educational needs opened near Kyiv. The center provides comprehensive support to children and their families, conducts rehabilitation programs, trains parents, and helps children adapt to social life.
The foundation supports the international center for women and children in Chernivtsi. “City of Goodness” receives humanitarian aid and financial assistance directed at women with children and the children’s hospice “House of Butterflies.”
