Reconstruction of School Shelters Project

The ongoing war in Ukraine has profoundly disrupted the education system, leaving many schools unable to provide safe spaces for children to learn. Currently, 68% of functioning Ukrainian schools are equipped with temporary protective structures of various types, allowing them to begin at least hybrid or fully offline learning. However, a significant portion of these shelters fail to meet modern building standards for temporary protective structures, cannot accommodate all students, or 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.
