We consolidate, maintain and provide free access to critical digital infrastructure to civil society organizations and affected populations around the world.

Youth Organization STAN
STAN supports a cross-regional network of activists and promotes culture of human rights, inclusion and democratic values. The organization operates in an environment of high uncertainty, addressing the challenges of the ongoing war, recovery, and deep social transformation. STAN specifically works in communities all over Ukraine, empowering vulnerable groups such as youth, IDPs, LGBTK+, veterans, and other left-behind groups to move from being objects of aid to becoming subjects of political and social change.
STAN fosters leadership and critical thinking through non-formal education rooted in human rights, inclusion, and decolonization, while integrating MHPSS to restore individual agency and community resilience. By operating three physical resource centers as "powerspaces," the organization supports grassroots initiatives and individual activists, strengthening the participation of youth and vulnerable groups in local and national decision-making.
STAN facilitates peace dialogues to bridge social divides and promote reconciliation since 2019. Furthermore, STAN amplifies the voices of youth and vulnerable groups in local and national decision-making while actively decolonizing social and historical narratives about Ukraine on the global stage. These efforts are underpinned by a democratic management model and a robust MEAL system, ensuring institutional stability and ethical accountability to the communities served.
Migration Aid
Migration Aid (MigAid) is a Hungarian non-governmental organization founded in 2015 in response to the refugee crisis at Budapest's railway stations. Over the years, it has grown from grassroots volunteer coordination into a structured organization providing humanitarian aid, family support, and community development. MigAid works with refugees, displaced families, and people in need in Hungary and beyond, combining direct assistance with intercultural community-building initiatives.
