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."
The project aims to provide free IT education to Ukrainian children and teenagers who have 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.
"The development of a country begins with education, a process that requires efforts from everyone. By sending children to prepaid schooling, we want to reduce the financial pressure on families whose children have suffered from the war and lost their parents, thereby drawing everyone's attention to the social problems that exist. By giving children a choice and the opportunity to follow their interests and abilities, we change their lives:
-
distract from the negative,
-
We give opportunities for growth,
-
set the vector for further development and independence.
This is our goal," says Arina Kysiliuk, a member of UnityRise initiative group of Don Calabria Ukraine.
