Dignitas

Freedom Sky trains interceptor-drone operators and equips crews so Shaheds are detected, disrupted and stopped before they reach homes, hospitals and power stations. It’s a layered defence: block enemy reconnaissance, eliminate the recon that confirms targets, then intercept the attack drones themselves — easing pressure on rear air defences.

Over 1,000 operators have been trained and around 420 crews are on active duty, with 51% of graduates forming entirely new crews. Donations fund interceptor and neutraliser systems, command-and-control kits (Starlink, antennas, receivers, power), spare parts and field repair — defensive protection of civilians and infrastructure, not offensive systems.

Flight to Recovery gives wounded veterans a next chapter. In veteran-friendly classrooms, they learn civilian drone operation and FPV engineering — assembly, soldering, electronics and simulator flying — alongside peers who understand what they’ve been through.

More than 360 veterans have graduated from the six-week programme across three-plus locations in Ukraine, many moving straight into the technology and defence-tech sector, with some staying on to teach the next cohort. Serhii, released in 2025 after nearly two and a half years in Russian captivity, learned drone skills from zero and was hired before he even graduated. Donations cover simulators, FPV kits, tools and instructors so veterans train at no charge.

Tech Explorers turns wartime disruption into skill and confidence for the next generation. Children aged 7–12 build foundational science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills, while teens aged 13–17 go deeper into engineering, robotics and responsible FPV piloting, with priority for children of defenders and war-affected families.

This is civilian education, not military training — teamwork, focus and curiosity that also support psychological recovery. The April 2026 “Shaping Tomorrow” evening raised $110,000 to open classes in new locations. Donations buy robotics kits, goggles and controllers, pay for mentors, and fund places for children who could not otherwise attend.
