Support Education and Science on Giving Tuesday 2024
Make a lasting impact this Giving Tuesday! Support United 24’s Education and Science Initiative to rebuild schools, provide resources, and inspire young minds in Ukraine. Your donation brings hope to children affected by war.
Giving Tuesday gives you the chance to make a lasting impact on the future of Ukraine by supporting the UNITED 24 Education and Science Initiative. As the country continues to grapple with the devastating effects of the war, countless Ukrainian children have had their education disrupted by Russia’s full-scale invasion. Together, we can help rebuild Ukrainian children’s schools, provide essential learning tools, and invest in scientific advancements that will inspire a brighter tomorrow.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is celebrated each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It is a global movement dedicated to generosity and kindness, starting in 2012 as a response to the consumer-driven events of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Giving Tuesday encourages everyday people and organizations to come together to support the causes that matter most. This year, you can be part of this worldwide movement by supporting UNITED 24’s Education and Science Initiative for Ukrainian children.
The Power of Education
Education is more than a classroom – it’s a lifeline for children living in war zones. For many Ukrainian kids, their schools have been destroyed, and their classrooms have been reduced to rubble. With your support, we can rebuild safe and modern learning environments, ensuring that no child loses their right to an education because of war.
Through the Education and Science Initiative, UNITED 24 focuses on:
Rebuilding Schools: Funding construction and renovation of damaged educational facilities.
Providing Resources: Supplying books, laptops, and educational tools to students and teachers.
Advancing Science and Education Technology: Supporting young innovators to drive technological progress and support science in Ukraine.
Why It Matters
The war has created challenges for more than 5 million children in Ukraine, many of whom now lack access to quality education. In times of war, education provides stability, a sense of normalcy, and the hope of a better future. Investing in Ukraine’s educational infrastructure you can ensure kids can dream beyond the hardships they face today.
Since its launch in 2022, UNITED 24 has made significant strides in revitalizing Ukraine’s educational infrastructure. With the help of donors, we have successfully raised funds for the reconstruction of the Buzova Academic Lyceum in Kyiv Oblast, which was destroyed in the early days of the invasion. The reconstruction has allowed 452 children to return to their studies in a safe learning environment. We have also rebuilt the Velykokostromska School in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, which was destroyed by a Russian missile, and hope to rebuild many more schools in Ukraine.
UNITED 24 has also launched innovative projects like Minesalt, integrating the world-famous Soledar salt mines into the Minecraft universe to engage and educate young minds. The Soledar mines in Donetsk Oblast were some of the largest salt producers in Europe. However, with the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Soledar became a fortress on the front line. After almost one year of battle, the town and its mines were occupied by Russia. Recreating the mines in Minesalt is an opportunity to tell the world about not only its history but also the struggle for Ukraine’s freedom.
