PFC Ukraine
Ternopil and Vinnytsia, Ukraine
Partner program
Since 2024
Facing one of the most critical challenges of our time, PFCF partnered with Humanitarian Innovation Group (HIG) to expand their humanitarian work inside Ukraine by offering music and art therapy for youth in bomb shelters and public spaces across two cities amidst an ongoing war.
Classes include guitar, vocals, percussion, ensemble performance, as well as art classes of different mediums led by certified art therapists, giving youth a channeled outlet for creative expression.

Life in the community
Community members and youth in Ternopil and Vinnicia face a constant threat of bombardment and attack, and even have apps on their phones that track drone attacks in the country and inform locals when they need to seek shelter. This type of environment has caused major trauma for youth across the country, and PFCF has started programming at two sites to pilot music education and art therapy so as to scale to other locations of need.

In recent weeks, Ukraine has faced a sharp escalation in missile and drone attacks, targeting civilian infrastructure, energy grids, and urban centers including areas where children seek refuge and education. These strikes have not only disrupted power and access to basic services, but have deeply shaken the fragile sense of stability that many youth were beginning to rebuild. Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need to expand safe, creative, and therapeutic spaces—where young people can find relief, resilience, and hope in the face of unrelenting trauma. Every day of delay risks losing more of their potential to fear and silence.
