EdVent

Who We Are

EdVent is a charitable organisation set up in the United Kingdom in 2012 by Iryna Tandura and Victoria Volkova. Both Iryna and Victoria are originally from Ukraine and currently live and work in London.

EdVent’s activity is aimed at developing opportunities for academic, professional and personal development of disadvantaged children and adolescents in Ukraine.

EdVent founders’ track record includes a successful fundraising campaign in the United Kingdom, which helped purchase English language study manuals and IT equipment for children from the public educational-rehabilitation centre “Special Child” in Rivne, Ukraine. See “Completed Projects” page for more details.

See “Current Projects” page for details of our ongoing initiatives and for information about how to support them.

EdVent also focuses on promoting the idea of fundraising to Ukrainian audience. While the term “fundraising” typically refers to efforts to raise money for a charitable cause, we prefer to describe it as an opportunity to generate and implement creative ideas, meet new likeminded people, learn new things, and organise and attend events that are beneficial and interesting on their own, with “raising funds” being just one of the elements. We hope that EdVent’s experience can demonstrate how truly multidimensional “fundraising” can be and motivate companies and individuals in Ukraine to initiate their own projects.
