Alexander Rekeda is an entrepreneur and philanthropist in many business and charity ventures. In 2022, he co-founded Unity for Freedom, a nonprofit that provides aid to Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees. The organization has been very successful in its efforts, and Rekeda's strategic management has helped ensure that resources are effectively managed and directed to where they are needed most. Unity for Freedom provides immediate support and planning for the days after the war to help Ukrainians survive and emerge with the tools needed to fight the long-term effects of living through armed conflict.
Rekeda is a Ukrainian-born Canadian citizen who, within months of the war in Ukraine starting in February 2022, wanted to find a more effective way to gather and distribute aid to the people of Ukraine. After donating to various relief agencies through different channels, he partnered with a group of friends to form the Unity for Freedom charity to distribute aid faster and with reduced costs compared to larger charitable funds. Alexander Rekeda is the founder and executive director of Unity for Freedom, a nonprofit organization responding quickly to new hotspots and concerns in the Ukrainian crisis while keeping an eye on sustaining resources and long-term needs. Alexander's work has been featured in The Huffington Post, The Hill, Newsweek, and other publications.
