Our Story

Inspired by the transformative potential of hope, The Renewal Initiative (TRI) emerged as a response to the ongoing tragedy of war in Ukraine. However, the vision of TRI transcends geographical boundaries.

Our founder, Andrew Moroz, PhD, was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and immigrated to the United States as a child. Having witnessed the profound impact of war firsthand when the Russian Federation invaded his homeland in February 2022, Andrew began traveling to Ukraine to deliver humanitarian aid and encourage those affected by the conflict.

The generosity of partners from around the world, combined with the sacrificial love demonstrated by aid workers, helps to cultivate a renewed sense of hope in the midst of despair.

Hope plays an essential role in shaping various dimensions of human life – psychological, emotional, and spiritual – serving as a catalyst for growth, resilience, and overall human flourishing.

Moreover, the impact of hope extends beyond the individual – the act of sharing hope creates a profound sense of connection and mutual support among individuals, creating a ripple effect that resonates within communities.

TRI stands as a beacon of compassion, striving to bring renewal and hope to individuals and communities worldwide.
