Wise Carpenter: A Program for Boys Who Lost Their Fathers to War

man with groceries: Stand with Ukraine

Area: Odesa
Status: On-going
Budget: $3,840

Wise Carpenter, a program we proudly support, empowers Ukrainian boys aged 7 to 14 whose fathers have either been lost to the ongoing war or are currently serving in the Ukrainian Armed Forces by teaching crucial skills, values, and principles to assist their growth into responsible and capable adults.

Our program imparts practical skills, such as tool use and craftsmanship, within a value-based framework. We are dedicated to fostering a strong sense of responsibility and integrity, highlighting the importance of accountability, resilience, and the time-tested values of masculinity and family commitment.

Small class sizes—typically 6 to 8 pupils per group—ensure that each child receives sufficient individual attention and deeper, more personalized guidance. This supportive community fosters a space where both mentorship and camaraderie flourish, allowing the boys to grow with guidance and encouragement.

Through weekly sessions over a two-year period and an annual camp gathering, we aim to shape these boys into confident, skilled, and emotionally mature young men. Our goal is not just to equip them with hands-on skills, but to build a strong ethical foundation rooted in hard work, personal responsibility, and loyalty to family, empowering them to face life’s challenges—present and future—with courage and confidence.

Your generous support will allow us to continue providing these boys with vital tools both practical and moral.
