Who We Are And What We Do

Our goal: to provide assistance, integration, development, counseling, and housing for people who have been forced to leave their homes.

Our mission: to support all refugees and vulnerable groups — regardless of their nationality, origin, or religion — and to help them build a new, dignified life in Bulgaria. Our priority is their integration, development, and full inclusion in society.

The foundation was established in March 2022 by Nata Ellis, Manol Peykov, and Oleksandr Kovalev under the name Ukraine Support & Renovation. Initially, the organization was dedicated to supporting Ukrainians fleeing the war. Over time, our experience, partnerships, and resources have allowed us to expand our activities to meet the needs of all those seeking protection and a new beginning.

Today, as USRF Foundation (United for Support and Resilient Future) – we continue with the same dedication and compassion, but with a broader scope and mission – to help all people in need, regardless of their nationality.

Our work would not be possible without the support of our partners and volunteers, who share our belief in solidarity and humanity.
