B50 is the winner of the ‘Varti’ award from Nova Poshta
In April 2025, on the occasion of its yearly anniversary, our community was recognised at the national level: the B50 NGO became one of the winners of the annual ‘Varti’ award from Nova Poshta. It is a special honour for us to be recognised among the strongest, most dedicated volunteer initiatives in Ukraine that work every day for the frontline, communities and the restoration of our country.
‘Varti’ (‘Worthy’ in Ukrainian) is an annual initiative of Nova Poshta launched in 2022 to thank Ukrainian volunteers, NGOs and charities for their daily work. In 2025, as part of this project, the company recognised 33 initiatives that change the lives of Ukrainians for the better by bringing victory closer, supporting the victims, rescuing, helping, and restoring.
This is not just an award – it is a recognition that we are worth it: worthy of trust, support, and gratitude.
We joined the Humanitarian Nova Poshta programme in 2023. The programme has been operating for more than 10 years and helps volunteers, charities and NGOs send free cargo to help the frontline, IDPs, hospitals and clinics, orphanages, and animal shelters.
During our cooperation with Humanitarian Nova Poshta, we have sent hundreds of parcels totalling over UAH 170 thousand. Among them are parcels for our defenders, construction materials to renovate children’s bomb shelters, books for children’s libraries and many other important goods without which our community would not be able to function.
In 2024 alone, we made 672 humanitarian deliveries through the Humanitarian Nova Poshta. And each of them is not just a box of things, but a piece of care, support and hope.
This award is not just a distinction for the B50 team. It is a recognition of the contribution of every volunteer, every person who donated, packed, sorted, painted, repaired or helped to clear the rubble.
We share it with our entire community, because this is a common victory.
It is also an opportunity to tell a wider audience about what we do. To show that rebuilding Ukraine is a process that takes time, effort and trust. And that we are not stopping.
Ruslan Habdulov, Director of B50, received the award on behalf of the organisation.
The award itself is engraved with words of gratitude from those who received assistance during the year, including a thank you from the director of the Strumochok kindergarten, Victoriia Burmistrova.
This year, our community carried out a large-scale renovation of the bomb shelter in this kindergarten: we repaired and decorated four rooms and fully equipped them. Thanks to the support of the Humanitarian Nova Poshta, we were able to deliver furniture, doors, building materials and toys – everything that made this space safe and cosy for children.
We are sincerely grateful to Nova Poshta for seeing, supporting and strengthening the volunteer movement in Ukraine. This award gives us even more strength, because we know that our work is meaningful – and it is visible.
We continue to work for people. We thank everyone who is with us.
We share this victory with you ❤️
