The charitable organization “100% LIFE CHERKASY” began its activities in 2002 as an initiative group. In 2004, a city organization was registered, which operated within the city limits of the charitable organization “From Heart to Heart.” However, it became clear that the organization’s scope of activity needed to be expanded, as there was a need for services both in the city and in the regions. Thus, on October 14, 2008, a regional organization was registered, and today amendments are being made to the organization’s charter with the aim of expanding its activities and territory of operation. In 2018, two powerful organizations in the region, the Cherkasy branch of the Network and the charitable organization “From Heart to Heart,” merged. As a result, in 2019, the charitable organization “100% LIFE CHERKASY” was established.
