Nadiya Vovk

Founder of the Berehynia Foundation

Biography

Nadiya Vovk founded the charitable organization “Nadiya’s Vovk Charitable Foundation "BEREHYNIA". After the full-scale invasion, Nadiya, like thousands of Ukrainians, learned to combine volunteering with professional life. Six years of work experience as a director of the Ukrainian distribution pharmaceutical company "Zydex Ukraine" became an essential factor in the rapid development of the fund and practical aid.

Nadiya was born in Luhansk in a family of machine builders, "Luhansk Teplovoz". Nadia spent her school and student years in her hometown. At the Luhansk State Medical University, she received higher special education in the specialty of the pediatrician. During her studies, she worked as a nurse, completed an internship in pediatrics, and began a career as a medical representative in a pharmaceutical company. In 2006, a job offer called Nadia to Kyiv. Nadiya currently lives with her husband and two daughters in Irpin, Kyiv region.

The Kyiv-Mohyla business school influenced Nadiya's professional development, and Nadiya is a regular student. Thanks to the accumulated knowledge and experience of working in various pharmaceutical companies, in 2017, Nadiya headed the Ukrainian distribution pharmaceutical company "Zydex Ukraine", and until now, holds the position of director.

For the first time, Nadiya felt what war was like in her hometown back in 2014. Then it was her Luhansk. Despite the fact that Nadiya has been living in Kyiv since 2006, it turned her life upside down. A large-scale war found her and her family in Irpen, which had already become a home. The occupation forced a decision to help the victims of the war, and rescue made it possible to be faithful to this decision. Thus, in July 2022, "Nadia`s Vovk Berehynia Charity Fund" was founded.

In the first months of the foundation's existence, Nadiya's team was actively engaged in the restoration of the Kyiv region, namely Buchansky district.

When experienced managers and specialists in working with foreign charitable organizations joined the volunteer team, "Berehynia" got the opportunity to solve more difficult tasks and help more and more people. 150 кейсів допомоги, а сума наданої допомоги вже перевищила 60 млн (близько 1 500 000$).
