Reconstruction of School Shelters
We focus on reconstructing and equipping school shelters to provide safe spaces for hybrid and offline learning during wartime in Ukraine. These shelters are designed to protect students and teachers while ensuring uninterrupted education. By creating secure and functional environments, we help preserve the right to learning even in the most challenging circumstances.
About Project
The ongoing war in Ukraine has profoundly disrupted the education system, leaving many schools unable to provide safe spaces for children to learn. However, a significant portion of these shelters fail to meet necessary standards for temporary protective structures, and often cannot accommodate all
students, and lack the comfort needed for long-term use.
Reconstruction and equipping of these shelters are critical to ensuring education continues in a secure and supportive environment, even during wartime. These efforts protect students and teachers during air raids while creating adaptable learning spaces for hybrid and offline education amidst the challenges of conflict.
The availability of a safe and well-equipped shelter in schools ensures the sustainability of the educational process during wartime: it enables the transition to offline or blended learning and allows for the organization of educational and recreational activities while staying in the shelter.
Types of equipment

Nothing stops the mission
Following the loss of a Ford Ranger in a russian aerial attack on June 10, 2025, we urgently replaced it with a new Mitsubishi L200. The destroyed vehicle was undergoing routine maintenance when the strike occurred. The newly acquired L200 is already in active use, supporting aid deliveries, evacuations, and volunteer transport across high-risk and de-occupied areas. Your swift support ensured our mission continued without disruption, and we remain deeply grateful for your life-saving solidarity.

Innovating demining operations
Thanks to your support, we deployed six advanced drones to our fellow Ukrainian R&D unit to enhance demining innovation in Ukraine. Field tests in the Kyiv region included 3D mapping, thermal imaging, and AI-assisted object recognition, yielding critical data for future software, hardware, and training development. These drones enable safer, faster, and more cost-effective terrain analysis before human teams enter mined zones.
