NASHI's Current Projects
MAPLE LEAF CENTRE - "KLENOVI LYST"
The concept of "KLENOVI LYST" involves the establishment of an educational/living model project. It is an example of what each province of Ukraine should have, ideally with branches in various communities. The model is not utopian but practical. Picture a Ukrainian "Innovation Place" with living facilities and a strong emphasis on building social and economic life skills.
After NASHI members traveled to Ukraine in 2007 to observe conditions firsthand, a decision was made on the location for this project.
A former Kindergarten building and the land on which it sits has been purchased in Stoyaniv, Ukraine, a village of 7,000 persons that is 75 km from Lviv and 60 km from Lutsk. It is near the regional centre of Radehiv, population 15,000.
Safehouse Building
Real Estate prices have risen dramaticly in Ukraine as they have here in Canada. Along with the higher price for property, the cost of renovations has also climbed.
Major renovations are planned, to add additional private living space for residences as well as classrooms, kitchen and dining rooms, and common recreation areas.

Experienced, willing partners for this center have been found in Ukraine. They will provide care for the residents and instruction at the trade school. Architectural plans are completed and permitting has started. We have firm detailed work and materials estimates for this project totalling $400,000 CDN.
Now, we need to raise funds in order to complete the project by the summer of 2009.
The Maple Leaf Symbol
The maple tree is common to both Canada and Ukraine, but the maple leaf is recognized world-wide as a symbol of Canada. NASHI has chosen the maple leaf as the symbol for this project.
The foyer of the Safe House will prominently display a Maple Tree, whose coloured leaves will be adorned with the names of those who generously donated to this project.
Donations between $100 and $499 will be recognized with a green leaf.
Contributions of $500 to $999 will be acknowledged with a red leaf.
A gold leaf is awarded to gifts over $1000.
Donations can be designated to specific items or projects such as:
- Commercial sewing machines
- Looms
- Musical instruments
- Greenhouse
- Beauty salon
- Bedrooms
- Computers
- Kitchen appliances and cookware
- Woodworking tools and equipment
- Library
With each leaf our tree will grow into the Tree of Life and Hope.
