Welcome to the Halogaist Visual Archive (HAVA) project. We are dedicated to helping the world find the way to freedom. We help answer the question: “How do people lose their freedom?” By the time we are oppressed, refugees, or at war it is too late – freedom is lost.

The project started in 2022 to capture the resiliency and determinations of those caught in Putin’s corrupt ideology and war. We collect, preserve, and share stories from all those who suffered under socialist/communist or other institutional tyrannies (governmental, religious, educational, economic, etc).

These are stories of overcomers. People who have a lesson or two to teach us today about preserving freedom. They are primary sources to significant world events.

To help us continue please consider donating to Overcome International:
