Near Irpin, the construction of Ukraine's first residential house printed using the country's first construction 3D printer by 3D UTU has been completed. This house now serves as the new home for the Berezovy family, who lost their home and father due to the war. The project was realized thanks to the "United for Help" initiative by the Hold the Nation Foundation. Metinvest Group contributed to the project by providing over 20 tons of steel products free of charge from Metinvest-SMC’s distribution warehouses, which formed the core structure of the house including its base, walls, and ceiling.

Війна несе за собою не лише фізичні рани, але й глибокі душевні травми тим, чиїх рідних і коханих забрала смерть на полі бою. Для жінок, які втратили своїх синів і чоловіків, шлях до психологічного одужання особливо складний і довготривалий. Саме тому так важливо підтримати їх і дати шанс відшукати нові сили жити далі. Для матерів, дружин та дітей загиблих воїнів – працівників Каметсталі такою підтримкою стала програма психологічної реабілітації «Незламна мама» від «Фонду Маша», до якої долучилася гуманітарна ініціатива Групи Метінвест «Рятуємо життя». Днями жінки повернулися у рідне Кам’янське з мальовничого Прикарпаття, де вони проходили реабілітацію у санаторії «Моршинський».Природа тамтешньої місцевості милувала око, а емоційним станом жінок опікувалися досвідчені психологи. Щоб повернути спокій у їхні душі, проводилися щоденні психологічні заняття – колективні та індивідуальні консультації. Важливу роль у реабілітаційному процесі кожної відігравало і спілкування з іншими жінками,
