How did it all begin?

July 2014. The war in eastern Ukraine has already begun. Three volunteers - Vitaliy Kokor, Yurko Didula and Andriy Levitskyi - are heading to the Donetsk region to help the local population. In just 1 month, they are planning their first BUR camp in Kramatorsk, during which a small group of enthusiasts managed to restore 25 dwellings.

This is how the project "Building Ukraine Together" (BUR) was born, which has been in existence for ten years, from a small initiative of three friends, turned into an influential public organization of a national scale.

Mission:

Unite a responsible and active young community of Ukraine with the help of volunteer initiatives and informal educational programs.

Main areas of work:

• Restoration and arrangement of buildings in the de-occupied territories;
• Education and youth development;
• Development of communities;

Ok BUR, I want to help! Where to start?

Start by visiting BUR camps. This is a construction camp in small towns and villages where together we:

• we restore houses damaged by shelling;
• we conduct interesting educational lectures;
• get to know the local culture;
• we find friends in all corners of our country;
• together we create a bubble of an ideal society;
