Original Text


Now, RE:Ukraine is not just a housing project but a pilot for a recovery program. Our goal is to help displaced people get back on their feet and reintegrate, leaving their trauma behind. And since many places in the world are devastated by wars and climate change, the displacement challenge is the global one. Though rooted in Ukraine, the model can be replicated, helping to accommodate the displaced people elsewhere.

Watching Ukrainians flock to Bucha and other liberated areas, translated into another insight. Our folks don't want to wait to fix what's broken. Fixing is the first thing we do after every attack, despite the threat of anything being destroyed again. Public spaces like schools and hospitals restored by local authorities. But when it comes to private housing, people are often left with this task [on] their own. So to help smaller householders rebuild, we created RE:Ukraine Villages, a free online tool for rural housing restoration. With just a few clicks, the tool generates you a step-by-step manual to restore a house or to design a new one from scratch. Floor plans, façade scans, technical description, a list of materials. Fool-proof guides for homeowners and volunteers.
