Education for the children of Heroes:
Don Calabria Ukraine Charitable Foundation in cooperation with the Children of Heroes Charitable Foundation and the GoITeens IT Academy launched the UnityRise project
The project aims to provide free IT education to Ukrainian children and teenagers who lost their parents in the war. The first 10 children have already received free training in Minecraft, Python, GameDev, Frontend, and Roblox. Each child could choose one of 12 IT courses.
By sending children to prepaid schooling, our foundation wanted to reduce the financial pressure on families whose children suffered from the war and lost their parents, and thus draw attention to the existing social problems.

SvoiRidni
"SvoiRidni (OurDears)" is an inclusive educational project. This is an attempt to talk about children with special needs in order to overcome the tension and fear that exists in society and is caused by a lack of knowledge on this topic.
The best way is to get to know each child. To learn what makes this child unique, to erase the boundaries and stop being afraid. Let's get to know each other
