Restoration Complete: 9 Families Can Return Home After Missile Strike on Konovaltsia Street

The project was implemented within the Lviv City Council’s initiative “Adopt a Building”. Its goal is to engage Ukrainian and international businesses, as well as global charities, in restoring buildings destroyed by the enemy.

Lviv IT Cluster, together with its members and partners — Kormotech and Enzym Group — took full responsibility for every stage of the work, from preparatory steps to emergency stabilization and reconstruction.

The project commenced with the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation on October 28, 2024, between the Lviv City Council, the Lviv IT Cluster, and partner companies. The following steps included a tender to select a project organization, a technical assessment of the building, and preparation of project documentation, which successfully passed expert review.

“This project is the best example of unity. Business, community, city officials, and utility services all joined forces to rebuild this house and bring families back to their homes. For residents, the building has restored not only physical safety but also a sense of stability after losing their homes to war. We’re grateful to have taken part in such a mission. Projects like this inspire me deeply. Thank you to everyone involved,” said Stepan Veselovskyi, CEO of Lviv IT Cluster.

The first stage of work involved emergency measures, including reinforcing and partially repairing the exterior walls, replacing windows, reconnecting the building to the gas supply, and winterizing some aspects of the structure. In parallel, the construction site was organized with storage areas for materials and a backup power source.

The following stages involved replacing the drainage system, insulating the floors and façade, and installing metal elements to restore the building’s complete structural integrity. Later, the wooden roof frame was rebuilt, the roofing was replaced, the staircases were restored, and the surrounding area was improved.

“The reconstruction of the building on Konovalets Street is an example of how business and community can take responsibility together for people affected by russia’s aggression. For Kormotech, this is not a one-time donation, but a deliberate step within our culture of care and partnership.

We believe Ukraine’s recovery must be transparent, step by step, with clear accountability. This is how trust in business and institutions is built. We’re proud to contribute to giving Lviv residents back their homes,” said Mariia Stefanyshyn, CEO of Kormotech.

Funding came from several sources: the Lviv IT Cluster Charity Fund contributed UAH 2 million, IT companies within the association added UAH 3.5 million, Kormotech allocated UAH 3 million, and Enzym Group contributed UAH 2 million. The total funding reached UAH 10.5 million.

“The moment residents cross the threshold of their home again is the greatest reward for our team. The restoration of the building on 46 Konovalets Street was made possible through the joint efforts of responsible businesses, city authorities, and caring individuals. From the start, we knew this project was about more than walls — it was about safety, dignity, and the future. Now this house is ready for life again, and we are grateful to have been part of it,” said Andriy Tsehelyk, CEO of Enzym Group.

The Lviv IT Cluster team, together with Kormotech and Enzym Group, ensured complete oversight of all reconstruction stages. Our experts provided a professional, transparent, and honest organization of the process, from tender procedures to technical supervision of the works. We made sure that every party could trust that the funds were used solely and adequately for the city’s recovery.

Cooperation with residents and the homeowners’ association, led by Oksana Kril, ensured that every stage was aligned and that residents were kept informed. Lviv IT Cluster documented the reconstruction in photos and videos, providing both transparency and a record of unity and collaboration.

This project is a powerful example of how business, community, and city can unite for a shared goal. For residents, the building restored not only physical security but also the sense of home and stability after they lost their housing in the war.
