About the Foundation<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Positive Women Odesa Charitable Foundation was established on the basis of many years of experience within the community of women living with HIV and was officially registered on 7 November 2022.

The Foundation works in Odesa and across Odesa Region and, since 2025, has also expanded its activities to Chornomorsk. The organisation supports women, children and other vulnerable groups through mental health and MHPSS programmes, protection of rights, gender equality, advocacy, women\u2019s leadership and community resilience.

A key strength of the Foundation is its community-based approach, built on lived experience, trust and direct engagement with target groups.<\/p>\n\t\t
