Choose a program, change a life

Here you can see how we plan to turn creative storytelling, virtual reality, and digital education into long-term support for people affected by war. Some programs are in active humanitarian work, others are in development — your support helps move each of them from idea to impact.

Our key programs

Paradox Nova:
a self-funding engine for recovery

Paradox Nova is a docu-futuristic graphic novel trilogy built on real stories from people who lived through the 2022 war in Ukraine, reimagined as an interplanetary invasion. Composite characters and a sci-fi universe protect identities while keeping lived experience at the heart of every chapter.

Our intention is to direct  100% of Paradox Nova’s net profits. to Helping War Victims programs: VR-based therapy, future-skills education, and other long-term support for war-affected families. This way, every book sold becomes a contribution to concrete recovery work, not just a symbolic gesture.

In the first phase, your support helps us develop and publish the graphic novel: scripting, artwork, printing, and digital distribution. As the universe grows, we plan to expand into additional creative formats such as special editions and interactive experiences, keeping Paradox Nova integrated with our education and therapy programs rather than as a stand-alone merch project.

By backing Paradox Nova now, you help build a sustainable funding engine that can support war survivors for years — independently of news cycles and short-term fundraising peaks.

VR Therapy for phantom pain & trauma
(in development)

Virtual reality is emerging as a promising tool for managing phantom limb pain and some types of trauma-related symptoms. Clinical studies and systematic reviews report that immersive VR and extended reality interventions can reduce pain intensity in many patients with phantom limb pain, though long-term evidence is still developing.
Our planned VR Therapy program is designed as a complement to clinical care, not a replacement for doctors or psychologists. We aim to work with rehabilitation specialists and mental-health professionals to create guided VR experiences that can be safely integrated into existing treatment plans — focusing on phantom limb pain and trauma-related symptoms in war-affected people.
Today this program is in the design and partnership phase. With your support, we can:

  • fund the development of pilot VR scenarios co-created with clinicians,

  • test user safety, accessibility, and comfort for war survivors,

  • prepare a framework for future delivery in cooperation with hospitals and rehabilitation centres.

By supporting the VR Therapy direction now, you are helping lay the groundwork for a future program that could reduce daily pain and improve quality of life for people who have already lost so much.

Future Skills IT Academy:
from survival to opportunity

Around the world, digital-skills programs are increasingly used to help refugees and conflict-affected youth move from short-term aid to long-term livelihoods. These initiatives show that practical IT training can open doors to remote work and stable income for people displaced by war.
Our planned Future Skills IT Academy is designed to offer accessible training in areas like coding fundamentals, cybersecurity basics, digital art, and applied English for tech — with a focus on war-affected youth and disabled veterans. The goal is not just to teach software, but to help participants rebuild confidence, independence, and a path into the global digital economy.
At this stage, the Academy is in the planning and curriculum-design phase. Donations help us:

  • develop a realistic curriculum with partner experts and volunteers,

  • design a mentorship model that connects learners with practitioners,

  • prepare scholarship and equipment support for participants who cannot afford devices or stable connectivity.

In the future, we see the IT Academy working hand-in-hand with Paradox Nova — for example, involving students in digital adaptations, interactive experiences, or web components of the graphic novel universe — turning learning into real projects with humanitarian impact.

Ready to help these programs become reality?

Whether you support Paradox Nova, future VR Therapy, or the Future Skills IT Academy, your donation helps transform ideas into concrete tools for war survivors — from pain relief and emotional recovery to new skills and long-term opportunity.
