HUMANITARIAN AID
The Bravery Foundation is a proud supporter of Atlas Global Aid, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving lives and communities around the world. Atlas Global Aid is focused on utilizing the skills and experience of military veterans to bring rapid-response humanitarian aid to Ukraine. They unite the experience of military veterans and skilled civilians to bring rapid-response humanitarian aid to those in greatest need. Atlas mobilizes humanitarian assistance and services, strategic planning and trainings, non-lethal aid, supply and logistical pipelines to communities around the globe affected by natural disaster and crisis. 

Atlas volunteers focus on bringing the essentials, like clothing, sleeping bags and medical supplies to those in greatest need in Ukraine. They also provide strategic advice and in-person training. They use their expertise to bring humanitarian supplies wherever they're needed. Atlas Global Aid's collaborations drive change in areas of conflict.

DISPLACED UKRAINIANS
We work hard to facilitate and connect Ukrainian refugees and displaced Ukrainians with local Okanagan organizations, various community resources and businesses. We're here to make sure Ukrainians have access to items like clothes, food, education and so much more. Our goal is to support them on their journey to becoming contributing members of Canadian society.

We've populated resource pages with links to Federal, Provincial, Regional (Okanagan), and local (Kelowna) resources to help those settling in Canada. A centralized system has been developed to connect local residents who have job offerings and other kindnesses with Ukrainians re-locating to our Valley. Our system also helps displaced Ukrainians make kindness requests, employment requests and emergency accommodation requests through our website. Our goal is to create a central hub so TOGETHER, in an orderly and targeted fashion, we can connect those in need with those who can help. 

We are a non-profit, CRA registered charity based in Kelowna, BC that's partnered with the United Way BC. Through our connection to various Okanagan businesses and organizations we've been able to create resources for displaced Ukrainians settling in our community. We've facilitated emergency dental care through Kelowna's Gospel Mission Dental Clinic for those in immediate need. By connecting with Ebus we've secured free bus rides for Ukrainians arriving in Vancouver who want to come to the Okanagan Valley. 

Our collaborations with Mamas For Mamas has allowed us to set up free shopping events and prepare Welcome Baskets for distribution by Kelowna Community Resources. Synergies with Kelowna Stands With Ukraine, We Help Ukraine, Ukrainian Canadian Volunteer Association, Kelowna S.H.A.R.E Society, Slavic United Network and Nations First Immigration ensure displaced Ukrainians receive much needed support like housing, clothing and food when first arrive and until they are integrated into our community.

Alliances with local hotels owned by Argus Hospitality Group helped us establish emergency housing and employment opportunities for displaced Ukrainians. Affiliations with International Gateway Kelowna, a local English language school connected to WorkBC and KCR, ensures Ukrainians have a safe place to learn English, become gainfully employed and connect with one another. 

Our relationship with Value Village through their 
Get to Give program allows the Bravery Foundation to provide bulk items like school supplies, winter jackets and sports equipment for community initiatives designed for larger groups of displaced Ukrainians. The Bravery Foundation together with Value Village's FUNDrive program, help Ukraine and the environment. We encourage local people to drop off used clothing and small household items to Ukrainian organizations in the Okanagan who distribute them to displaced Ukrainians in need. The Bravery Foundation next gleans back items Ukrainians cannot utilize and in turn drops them off to Value Village who pays the Bravery Foundation cash. We in turn use the money to help displaced Ukrainians purchase other necessities, like food and personal care products. This not only keeps things out of the landfill, it helps those in need!

VOLUNTEERS IN UKRAINE
Due to the desperate situation in Ukraine, volunteers are greatly needed. We are here to support them as they feel compelled to serve the people of Ukraine, quit their jobs and leave behind their comfortable lives. Their dedication to help those who cannot help themselves is par to none, and while commendable, often puts family members and themselves into financial hardship. 

The Bravery Foundation is here to support our brave volunteers by paying for their plane tickets, accommodation and food expenses while they are in Ukraine. When required, we also help families pay bills while their main bread winner is helping Ukraine.

UKRAINIAN ORPHANAGE
Beehouse Love Orphanage was founded 25 years ago in Rivne, Ukraine. The care and protection of vulnerable children is Beehouse Love's highest priority. They focus on providing a loving small group home environment so each child is treated with dignity and respect. Their objective is to ensure the twenty-five orphans under their charge are cared for physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. They lovingly guide, teach and train each child the value of responsibility, accountability and empathy through community connection.

Many years ago the first house mother of Beehouse Love had several teenage girls at the orphanage and when the girls came together they sounded like bees buzzing, so it seemed only fitting to choose the name Beehouse Love!
