The newly launched Ukrainian charity project has brought together hundreds of digital artists from across the country to create 10,000 NFT art pieces. The artists hope to raise funds for humanitarian aid and to support the country’s armed forces by collaborating with Pray4Ukraine.
The Pray4Ukraine team also revealed in a statement that the charitable organization has already begun selling its NFT collection, which includes 9,930 artworks. The proceeds from the sale will go directly to the wallet of Come Back Alive, another charitable organization that has been on the “humanitarian frontline since May 2014,” according to the statement. Financial reports will be released daily via Pray4Ukraine’s public channels, according to the statement.
The Pray4Ukraine team said it will use digital art and NFTs to achieve the charity organization’s broader goal of ending hostilities between Ukraine and Russia, in addition to raising funds for Ukrainians affected by the war. The statement went on to say: Pray4Ukraine’s mission is to show that everyone can help to bring an end to this war and save countless lives in Ukraine. Digital art and NFT offer the crypto community an alternative method for joining a forceful global solidarity movement.
One of the artists supporting the cause, Olga from Kyiv, has refused to leave the capital, where she “continues to channel her understanding of the enveloping events through digital art,” according to the statement. While the war has made it difficult to find inspiration, Kamila said that her desire to help in any way she can has enabled her to overcome the challenges she has faced since Russia invaded Ukraine.
