The Holy Trinity Church in Zhovkva, a UNESCO World Heritage site, dates back to 1720 and was under restoration when the war in Ukraine started in February 2022. As a result, work abruptly halted. To prevent further damage to the church, the upper parts of the building were temporarily covered with plastic sheeting.

In order to secure additional protection for the church over an extended period of time, WMF is providing funds to install a temporary waterproof membrane to protect wooden constructions of the tops and domes of the church. It will be installed in locations where the roof was removed prior to the start of the conflict, to protect Holy Trinity from inclement conditions.
