Legacy of War Foundation
Legacy of War Foundation operates sustainable, beneficiary-led projects which return power and assets to the hands of communities affected by conflict. From Ukraine, where our crisis response has supported adults and children with disabilities and LGBTQ+ people, to Rwanda, where our Land for Women program breaks down barriers to empowerment for female genocide survivors, we believe in providing the tools, training, education, and other support that enables those we work with to shape their own futures
We set up the Legacy of War Foundation because we wanted to do things differently. Our localised, sustainable, beneficiary-led projects in Ukraine, Rwanda, and Lebanon return power, funding, and assets to the hands of the communities affected by conflict.
