About the Foundation and Centre
The Charitable Organization “Nobility and Unity Foundation” is establishing the Transfiguration of the Lord Rehabilitation Centre in Vapniarka, Odesa region. The project is intended to provide residential rehabilitation for adults affected by addiction, psychosocial support for families and preventive work in the community.
Recovery does not happen in a single day. It begins with a decision to change, to accept support, and gradually to rebuild trust in oneself and others. At our centre, we seek to create an environment where everyday responsibilities, meaningful conversations and mutual encouragement help people take these important steps.
We believe that every person deserves respect, support and the opportunity for a new beginning. Our role is to accompany people through change, help them rebuild practical life skills, strengthen relationships and gradually prepare for a more independent future.
Meet every person with respect.
Make a place ready through practical care.
Build trust through time and connection.
Addiction can affect health, relationships and a person’s ability to take part in everyday life. The centre’s stated purpose is comprehensive rehabilitation for adults, psychosocial support and guidance for families.
A new beginning grows through time, care and steady support.
Group sessions based on the Foundation and 12 Steps programmes encourage participants to reflect on their experiences, develop personal responsibility and discover new ways of relating to others. Honest conversation, respect for each person's story and the support of the community are central to this work.

Contact the teamThe centre does not replace hospitals, emergency medical care, medical detoxification or inpatient psychiatric treatment. Healthcare is delivered only by appropriately licensed professionals and institutions. The NAU team can discuss referrals and practical accompaniment where available.
Space Renewal
Every renewed room is more than a renovation project. It is a space where people can feel order, calm, and hope for a new beginning. Step by step, the centre is being prepared to become warm, bright, and dignified for everyday life.
Work and Renewal
Visible transformation begins with simple daily work. Preparing rooms, repairing spaces, improving the interior, and caring for order all help create a place where recovery becomes real. This is how an environment of support and dignity takes shape.
A Place of Recovery
The centre is located in a beautiful setting near the liman, surrounded by a garden, greenery, and fresh air. Here, open space, quiet, and natural beauty come together. The sea, the plant life, and the peaceful atmosphere help create an environment where it is easier to pause, reflect, and begin the journey of restoration.

Everyday life at our centre is built around simple things: shared meals, cooking, practical work, rest and sincere conversations. Evenings by the fire, shared responsibilities and mutual encouragement help create a sense of belonging and remind people that they do not have to face their difficulties alone.
Support helps meet practical needs: food, utilities and heating, transport, repairs and equipment. It also helps the team continue outreach and invite people to rehabilitation.
