The foundation Nash Sokil" ("Our Falcon") was founded by daughters of Natalia Sokolovska. Natalia was a beautiful and wise woman, a Ukrainian language and literature teacher, a member of the OUN UPA, and a sincere patriot of Ukraine. She tragically died in Bucha on 03/04/2022 during evacuation.

From the beginning of russia's war in Ukraine, members of Natalia's family collected food, hygiene products, medicines, clothes and organized the transportation of goods from European countries to Ukraine. They also helped refugees from Ukraine find housing, document processing, and social status in Germany. They assisted in providing medicines, medical supplies, and surgical instruments to the First Surgical Volunteer Hospital initiative in Ivano-Frankivsk. This hospital offers medical assistance to wounded defenders of Ukraine and civilian victims.

Within our project “Fleeing from the War” we made an agreement with Department of Health Protection on placing evacuated IDPs (internally displaced persons) in more than 20 hospitals (more than 700 people) within Ivano-Frankivsk region. 

Most of those people are disabled, with limited mobility, seriously ill, and elderly. They did not have enough food or treatment at home, and often hid from shellings in their basements.

 Therefore, after evacuation, this category of IDPs needed a medical examination and medical assistance. While staying in medical facilities and receiving medical care, our wards received support with medicines, food, and hygiene products. They also got assistance in processing documents: renewal of passports if necessary, processing of IDP status, renewal of pension payments, and processing of payments for IDPs.
