COREFO is run by volunteers. We are paying our own bills for travelling, hotel stays, even phones. The only exception is compensation for external co-workers, financed from special grants or money donated specifically for this purpose.
At COREFO, we believe in the power of community and resilience. Our mission is to support the reconstruction of war-destroyed housing and public buildings – crucial spaces such as schools and kindergartens – in various regions around the world. We are starting our journey in Ukraine, where the need for safe and welcoming environments for families and children has never been greater.
We envision communities restored to their former vibrancy, where every individual can thrive and families can find solace in their homes and educational facilities. COREFO is dedicated to creating nurturing environments that inspire growth, healing, and togetherness.
Rebuilding Homes: We provide fully equipped modular structures to replace buildings that have been damaged or destroyed in conflict, ensuring people can return to safe living conditions.
Restoring Schools and Kindergartens: Education is fundamental for a child’s future. We focus on rebuilding educational facilities that promote learning and development, giving every child access to quality education.
Community Engagement: We believe that sustainable rebuilding comes from the involvement of local communities. We work closely with residents to ensure their needs are met and their voices are heard throughout the rebuilding process.
Unfortunately, a significant portion of international aid directed to war-torn regions is often misappropriated. Countries affected by conflict tend to struggle with poverty and widespread corruption. As a result, we refrain from providing direct financial assistance. Instead, we identify areas with pressing needs and develop targeted projects. We purchase high-quality modular buildings at the best available prices and deliver them directly to the locations where they are most needed. Our organization maintains a presence on-site from the initial planning stages through to project implementation, ensuring full transparency and effectively minimizing the risk of fraud.
Where political leaders may falter, we rise to the occasion. In the face of neglect and abandoned promises, our commitment to supporting war-ravaged Ukraine remains unwavering. While some politicians may overlook the urgent needs of the affected communities, we refuse to turn a blind eye. Our foundation is dedicated to taking concrete action, ensuring that vital resources are directed to those who need them most. By focusing on practical solutions and community-driven initiatives, we aim to fill the gaps left by inadequate political responses, demonstrating our steadfast dedication to rebuilding lives and restoring hope in a time of crisis.

Unlike traditional construction methods, modular systems can be manufactured and delivered to any location as needed. Their pricing is fixed, providing us with full control over the entire process. Additionally, modularity allows us to construct one portion of a building now and complete another section later, aligning with available funding. Lastly, modular buildings can be easily dismantled and relocated if necessary.
