Giving something back to the local community has always been the most important part of IWCK life. 

We give grants to NGOs working with women, children, people with disabilities, and the elderly. 

While our projects tend to be small, they provide plenty of opportunities for members to get involved on a practical level. They also bring members together with friends from the international business and diplomatic communities, who also support our projects.

Many of our members help with fundraising and charity project management from outside Ukraine, so whether you are inside or outside the country, you can support IWCK’s efforts to help vulnerable Ukrainians. If you are interested in supporting this work, please contact president@iwck.org or coordinator@iwck.org

Lydia Czorny Matiaszek Food Delivery Program

We also have our own “Special Initiatives” project: the Lydia Czorny Matiaszek Food Delivery Program, through which IWCK provides food parcels for disabled and vulnerable people in Kyiv.

Charity Fair  

In December each year, the Ukrainian Diplomatic Spouses Association brings, embassies, the Diplomatic Spouses Club of Kyiv and IWCK together for a wonderful Charity Fair. Money raised at our stand allows IWCK to give a grant to one of our target groups around the Christmas period.

Summer of 2026

IWCK helped Sant’Egido with their plans to organize free summer activities for children in Kyiv, Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk. They focused on children who are internally displaced, children of military families and other vulnerable children.

Christmas 2025

IWCK helped to purchase a special gift for the residents at a State retirement home:  250 rechargeable lamps.  

The lamps were presented at a special Christmas lunch with seasonal entertainment. IWCK members enjoyed the day.
