About us

“The Future of Ukraine (Sokal Region)” is a registered charitable foundation dedicated to helping schoolchildren from low-income families in the city of Sokal in Western Ukraine. We are guided by the indomitable values of love, kindness and selflessness.

Chrystyna Chase (née Lukomskyj) first had the idea of creating the foundation in 2005. Having emigrated to Canada from Ukraine as a child in 1945, she kept Ukrainian culture alive in Edmonton, Canada, through her work as a Ukrainian language teacher and an active member of various Ukrainian organizations. When she saw that Ukraine was emerging as an independent country, she looked for ways to uplift Ukraine even further. In Chrystyna’s opinion, the most effective approach was to support the country’s future: its youth.

Schoolchildren's Thoughts

"I have decided to connect my life with farming work, which has been revered since ancient times ... It is with agriculture that the Ukrainian economy can be raised to the level of a European country. "

Mykola (Agronomist)

"When I see with my own eyes how a new country is being built, without corruption, without dishonest people, it is clear that I will also be able to contribute to this new state with my profession ... I want the words: police, prosecutor to sound proud in my country and caused confidence that the people should not fear the law, and they knew he was on their side. "

Anastasia (Prosecutor)

"I have been dreaming the same dream for three months now: Maidan, screams, noise, explosions ... My hand reaches out through the acrid smoke and someone cries out for help. I'm in a white coat, with a red cross on my chest I'm eager to help, I rush to the rescue and wake up ... "

Ulyana (Doctor)

"I received a ticket to life from my teachers. My favorite teachers remain in my heart. They are all different. But there is something that commands my respect - justice, attentiveness, understanding, patience ... And I'm confused by why there are so few male teachers ... "

Andrew (Teacher)
