NGO "Institute of Ukrainian Studies"

Mykola Pekh was born in Lviv and lost his eyesight in the childhood. However it did not stop him from getting a degree in the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (faculty of international relations) and from taking part in exchange programs in the USA and England.

He was actively engaged in the NGO work. In 2006 Mykola and his friend Andrii Maksymovych organized Ukrainian Marathon “Race for Children” and set up the “Institute of Ukrainian Studies” NGO.

In June 2014 Mykola passed away but his ideas and projects are still being implemented by his friends. Even people who did not meet him know about his social activities and join initiatives launched by Mykola.
