All initiatives of the Humanitarian Aid Department are united in a single mission: to restore decent life to Ukrainians in the liberated territories. NEST accomplishes this mission by providing families with temporary modular housing. This gives them the possibility of remaining in their homes, working on their own land, and restoring their community.
The majority of current government restoration programs are focused on the main objects of infrastructure, such as energy supply, communications, logistics, hospitals, schools, etc.
At this time the state does not have the resources to restore private houses in rural areas.fr
However many families, despite losing their housing, want to stay in their homeland: working on their land, restoring the community, and supporting the economy.
Providing them with temporary housing immediately diminishes the scope of the problems of forced emigration and the economic decline of the community and of Ukraine.
Our intention: to return to Ukrainians decent life on their own land. This means the construction of modern, environmentally sustainable, locally made modular houses for families that lost their housing due to russia’s war on the territories of Ukraine.
The idea is to build, next to the destroyed house, a temporary one where the family can live for several years while rebuilding their permanent home. Families need these few years to stabilize their emotional and financial situation and renew resources to rebuild housing, the community, and the country.
Modular House
One module costs
$5000
The house is made up of modules: “kitchen,” “bathroom,” and “bedroom,” the quantity of which depends on the number of family members. The cost of one module is $5000.
- Is installed without a foundation
- Ready to live in: fully furnished and equipped
- Is connected to utilities on site
- Suitable to live in both summer and winter
- Has heating and air-conditioning
- Serves for 10+ years
- Is constructed in 4 weeks
- Is installed on site within 5 days
To choose the contractor, we conducted a tender with the following requirements:
As a result of the tender, three companies met the requirements of the project: AVANGARD, ZIBRANO, and VSIMDIM.
Verification of the families is handled by local leadership (currently Makariv’s territorial community). They have shared with us a database of families who have returned or who would like to return to the community and whose private housing, according to the assessment of an expert commission, can only be demolished.
First, we help those who definitively lack the financial or physical ability to quickly rebuild their housing on their own.
The NEST team works through this list in order and personally meets and speaks with the families. Before offering the family to take part in the project, we pay attention to the following criteria:
The conclusion that proves the housing can’t be restored
The family does not own other real estate property
The family plans to continue living in this community

How the family receives housing
About the Makariv Community
In Makariv there have already been rebuilt several multi-apartment buildings, including an outpatient center, a center of everyday services, commercial-office centers, and shops. Makariv returned to life. All this is not only thanks to charitable organizations and the state but also to the people who physically rebuilt all this. Therefore Ukrainians have to return to their Motherland and not stay in forced evacuation.
