Project Konstantin was founded in 2022 and officially registered as a charitable organisation in 2023. In 2022, Peter Fouché and Tetyana Millard met under the most urgent circumstances—Tanya’s hometown had stopped receiving aid, and she was looking for someone who could help. Together, they started delivering supplies to those in need, and soon, that effort grew into something bigger.
Later, Halyna joined them, bringing her own drive and determination to the work. Not long after, Jana became part of the team as well, and together, they helped shape Project Konstantin into what it is today. Over time, the organisation became more than just an aid effort—it became a lifeline for soldiers and civilians alike.
We named it after Konstantin “Kostya” Vyazovsky, a warrior whose bravery and spirit embodied everything we stand for. Kostya and Peter served together in Archangel Michael, Territorial Defence Forces reconnaissance unit that operated across Ukraine. When his mother and sister was trapped under russian occupation, Kostya left his unit to rescue them. He was killed in action, fighting with the same unwavering resolve that defined his life. Though Kostya was never part of the organisation itself, his courage continues to inspire us every day.
Tanya
Tanya was a force of nature. Fearless and kind, fierce yet angelic—she had a way of making everyone around her feel both safe and brave at the same time. She called the forest where they worked the “magical forest”, and in many ways, that’s what she was too—a little bit magic.
She was determined to help, no matter the cost. In October 2023, she set off from England with a donated vehicle, driving thousands of kilometres to bring it to the frontlines. She never made it. On October 9, 2023, Tanya died in a car accident, just an hour away from her destination.
Peter and Tanya launched our casualty evacuation (casevac) team, personally risking everything to pull the wounded from active combat zones. She was directly involved in saving lives before her untimely passing.
Her loss was devastating. But even now, we still hear her voice in our heads, guiding us through the hard moments: Love fiercely. Live fully. Stand up for what is right.
We now call her the Angel of Bakhmut, and in her honour, a vehicle bears her name.
Peter
Peter arrived in Ukraine in March 2022, deeply moved by what was happening to the country. A father himself, he couldn’t shake the images of parents losing their children in russian attacks. So, he did something about it.
He started by helping build a field hospital near Kyiv. Then he joined the fight, serving in both the Territorial Defence Forces and later the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He worked on the frontlines, coordinated logistics, and made impassioned video appeals that reached across the world.
After Tanya’s death, Peter joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine (ZSU), believing that serving within the military would give him a better understanding of what was needed on the frontlines.
Under his leadership, the casevac team they had started together continued its life-saving work, extracting wounded soldiers and civilians from active combat zones.
On June 27, 2024, Peter was killed in action.
There are no words that can do his life justice. He saved lives—more than 200 wounded soldiers, countless civilians—and he gave his own life for Ukraine. He was relentless, compassionate, and fearless. His loss is a wound that will never fully heal.
Since his passing, we have discontinued our casevac operations, as he was the cornerstone of that mission. But we have not stopped. We are still here.
What Happens Now?
For many, Peter was Project Konstantin. It’s natural to wonder: What happens now?
When Tanya died, Peter asked us—Jana and Halyna—if we would keep PK going. He made it clear that if we didn’t, he would shut it down. Our answer was immediate: “We’re with you. We’re not quitting.”
When he joined the military, he made us promise that if anything happened to him, we would carry on his work. Over the last six months of his life, he reminded us of this promise again and again. He wanted to be sure.
In March 2024, he even recorded a video, making it official: If anything happened to him, Jana would take his place.
So here we are. Still standing.
Continuing the Legacy
Project Konstantin is not just about one person. It’s about Tanya, Peter, Kostya, and the thousands of Ukrainians fighting for their homeland. It’s about the soldiers on the front who need drones, vehicles, uniforms, and supplies. It’s about the families in war-torn towns who still need food and humanitarian aid.
This mission isn’t over.
We promised Peter we would keep going, and we will.
To Kostya. To Tanya. To Pete. To Ukraine.
