About us

Who are we

We are a non-profit organization, Charity Foundation "Pislya Sluzhby" (After Service). As can be derived from the name, we focus on the military and veteran audiences, namely Ukrainian veterans. And this fund was established for them in 2022 in Ukraine.

With the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the community responded by creating many foundations that engaged in charitable activities in Ukraine. In turn, we decided to care for our veterans, who will inevitably face the challenge of reintegrating into civilian life after the war.

Our mission is to help Ukrainian veterans to succeed after Service. Therefore, we work to cover virtually all aspects of veterans' life: from psychological problems to rehabilitation and reintegration, from employment search to professional education.

Our vision of solving military problems in civilian life includes the following:

Providing resources, preparing and promoting the successful adaptation of Ukrainian veterans, and reducing the number of suicides among military personnel.
Creating a community for veterans and raising societal awareness about it.
Organizing professional organizations, businesses, foundations, state institutions, and volunteer movements to deal with veterans' issues.

Our values, with which we start our activity, are stable and uncomplicated:

Accountability - all activities of the organization are fully transparent and open, as well as monitored by foreign partners.
Service - we provide professional and responsible support for everyone who applies to the program.
Integrity - we will make every effort and use every resource at hand to ensure that every case is brought to its conclusion.
Innovation - the organization uses modern programs, analytical data, and the experience of foreign partners in solving veterans' issues in civil life.
Self-improvement - we are working on expanding our partner base, increasing opportunities, and attracting new opportunities to fulfill our goal.

Glory to Ukraine! #PislyaSluzhby
