The volunteer construction battalion (‚Dobrobat‘) is an initiative undertaken by volunteers, helping rebuild houses that have been affected by Russian shelling.
After Kyiv province was de-occupied, the initiators of the project, Viktor Andrusiv and Rostyslav Smirnov, saw a great many demolished houses, making a decision to help people rebuild their homes.
The initiative was joined by tens of thousands of volunteers.
Apart from reconstruction works, volunteers are also needed to clear debris and complete repair works.
‚There is a great demand for people who would repair roofs and reinstall windows. Every missile launched or shelling round somewhere in Kherson, Kharkiv or Sumy province requires prompt action‘.
Yuliya says that after returning with her friends to Kyiv and seeing a great number of destroyed houses on her way back home, she burst into tears. Volunteering at ‚Dobrobat‘ helps her take her mind off anxiety and gloomy thoughts.
