Changing the world together

About us

As well as providing cutting edge web and mobile development services at affordable prices for over 10 years, since the very beginning Ekreative has been committed to giving away a significant portion of its profit to charity! Sounds crazy? Business is dealt with first, but when all the programmers have been paid, bills accounted for and so on, Ekreative enables its “charitable powerhouse” division! This might seem unusual in the cut-throat business world of today’s technology market, but thanks to our moral obligation and the dedication of the team, the business has succeeded and grown and with it, so has our capacity for charitable giving.

Heart

Help for Refugees

Our home town, Cherkasy, has seen a huge influx of refugees from Eastern Ukraine in the last couple of years. When they first arrived we welcomed them with weekly food packages, handing out up to 500 per week. Today we continue to support them, helping purchase urgent household items and organising regular social events and free English, music and art classes for adults and children.

Building Jobs

Humanitarian aid is crucial during times of immediate need, but we are very wary not to create dependency, that’s why we focus on job creation. Investing in people’s lives by training them and giving them jobs gives them hope for a better future. We arrange for training and placements in a range of areas, not just those related to our own IT industry.

Of course, many countries of the world are suffering even more than Ukraine - and for fifteen years we have been organising and sending teams from Ukraine around the world. The aim is twofold, firstly to help out on the ground, bringing transformation among the poor and needy, and secondly to open the eyes of our teams to the many opportunities available to them living in Ukraine, which others don’t have.
