Peace of Heart is a charitable NFT collection supporting Ukraine and its citizens. It is composed of digitized artwork created by young children directly affected by the Russian invasion. Today, we speak to Maciej Lissowski, a member of the Senior Management Team at indaHash, the tech partner with whom the charity was matched. Maciej tells us about his personal connection to the project, and the idea that led to its inception.

‍Peace of Heart is a charitable NFT collection, supporting Ukraine and its citizens. All the funds raised through the online charity event will be donated to the Ukrainian war victims. The NFTs which it features were created by digitizing drawings made by Ukrainian children, and highlight the experiences and emotions that they are faced with in their new, difficult reality. Everyone who supports the fundraising will in return receive a unique NFT – a digital version of a drawing made by a child from Ukraine.

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Tech To The Rescue has matched 24 NGOs with tech companies to develop digital solutions needed to overcome the increasing humanitarian crisis. Now Tech To The Rescue is calling on the tech community and investors for financial support to carry on #TechForUkraine efforts, estimated to positively impact the lives of two million people. 

Non-profit organizations are at the heart of ongoing humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. They have already accomplished a tremendous amount. Yet many of them need more resources to work even faster and on a larger scale. One of the keys to effective aid today is technology. As Tech To The Rescue, we match non-profits with tech companies to provide pro bono digital support. We aim to facilitate the development of digital solutions that will not only help in the current crisis, but will also be useful in the future.

More than 200,000 people have fled Ukraine due to Russia's invasion, and an estimated 3-4 million are likely to follow. The imminent challenge is to help the refugees with temporary housing, medical care, and transportation, and then provide them with legal support, translation services, and job search. Tech To The Rescue, a global platform that matches IT companies with non-profit organizations, engaged 275+ companies and over 600 freelancers ready to support NGOs.
