UnityRise project: education for 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
What are we doing? We 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.
A space where the atmosphere itself will help stabilize the emotional state, subconsciously work through fears, reduce internal tension and work through aggression and the traumatic experience of war.
What do we do? We organize physical exercises for communication, interaction and cooperation; we also hold masterclasses, excursions and sports.

From 2019, we provide assistance to children who have been removed from dangerous conditions.
After all, after being removed, they are placed in a hospital, where they undergo a medical examination by doctors and wait for further actions by social services to protect their rights and introduce legal actions against their parents.
Created for adults who love children and wish them happiness. For parents or someone who replace them and have difficulty raising their children. For parents who have no difficulties, but are not sure, they are hesitant and have questions about parenting, education, relationships with children.
