The war has placed Ukrainian education under unprecedented strain: learning loss, psychological barriers, and the forced displacement of children. Yet education remains the key investment in Ukraine’s recovery and long-term growth.
At this event, we discussed how charitable initiatives and businesses can work together to build sustainable solutions for the development of Ukrainian children.
The Children of Heroes Fund shared lessons from its own education programs, including international projects that help children not only study abroad but also return to Ukraine to apply their knowledge for the country’s benefit. We all want to see children learn, thrive, and grow into people who make a positive impact on society and the economy.
