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, Dr. Andrew Moroz, was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and immigrated to the United States during his early years. Having witnessed the profound impact of war firsthand when the Russian Federation invaded his homeland in February 2022, Andrew embarked on a journey to Ukraine to deliver humanitarian aid and encourage those affected by the conflict.

That experience, coupled with subsequent relief efforts, unveiled the extraordinary power of hope and global solidarity. The generosity of partners from around the world and the sacrificial love demonstrated by aid workers resulted in a renewed sense of hope in the midst of despair.

Understanding the pivotal role hope plays in shaping various dimensions of human life—psychological, emotional, spiritual, and social—Dr. Moroz recognized its significance 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. Those permeated with hope tend to be more optimistic and supportive in their interactions with others, 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.
