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

Supporting Daily Rehabilitation for Twin Girls with Cerebral Palsy
The Prytula Foundation U.S.A. supported the purchase of a Rehatec Lasse Prone Stander for twin girls with cerebral palsy. The verticalizer provides essential support for safe, physiologically correct standing during daily rehabilitation. It helps ensure proper alignment of the hips and skeletal system, prevents secondary complications, and supports overall physical development. Regular use improves head control, muscle activation, cardiovascular and digestive function, as well as breathing and speech abilities, while enabling participation in daily life at eye level. It supports communication, cognitive development, and social interaction in a safe, upright position, easing daily caregiving, thereby enhancing overall quality of life for the family as well.

Humanitarian technology and connectivity support
With the support of donors, PRYTULA FOUNDATION U.S.A. has provided critical equipment to partner humanitarian organizations working along the frontline areas of Ukraine. This support included laptops and tablets for field coordination, data collection, and reporting; communication tools, including IP phones, networking equipment, and Starlink systems, to ensure stable connectivity; power solutions, such as generators and portable power stations, to maintain operations during outages; and office and networking infrastructure to support field offices and coordination centers. Altogether, the delivered assistance, valued at USD $242,169 is already being actively used by humanitarian organizations in the Kharkiv, Donetsk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Mykolaiv regions, as well as in other frontline communities across Ukraine. The equipment enables teams to coordinate aid delivery, support evacuations, maintain communication, and manage logistics in real time, even in areas with damaged infrastructure, limited electricity, and unstable internet access. As a result, response times have improved, coordination has become more efficient, and humanitarian organizations have expanded their reach to communities most affected by the war. We are deeply grateful for your support. Your contribution directly enables humanitarian teams to operate where they are needed most and to deliver timely assistance across Ukraine.
