OF UKRAINE
Since 2022, Hansen Ukrainian Mission (HUM) has been there to build loving and nurturing communities, places of compassion and healing for the Ukrainian people. This is our story.
MISSION:
Our mission is to support the courageous Ukrainian people in the face of the genocide of Russia’s invasion by rebuilding communities to restore dignity and renew hope.
The HUM Foundation was established in 2023 by U.S. land developer and philanthropist Dell Loy Hansen after he visited Ukraine and witnessed the horror of the genocide war. He identified three fundamental needs: food, money and shelter - these pillars guide the Foundation in their purpose to serve our Ukrainian brothers and sisters.
DIGNITY DOLLARS
MAY 2022 - ONGOING
The Dignity Dollars Program is a hallmark program to assist Ukrainians who have been traumatized by years of war. The program provides Ukrainians with much-needed cash to pay for necessary medical treatments, daily living supplies, or buy a gift for a loved one.
HOT MEALS
February 2023 - October 2023
This program is run by To Ukraine with Love. We joined them and funded over 44,000 hot meals in 2023. Many of these were served in active fighting zones near the Russian border. This program also included delivering food and medicine to the elderly and disabled in Eastern Ukraine.
In 2024, the HUM Foundation will open a clubhouse that will offer nightly free dinners to the residents at our Chudo Senior Village.
MODULAR HOUSES
