Nova Ukraine is  launching our partnership and a co-fundraising with SavED - charitable foundation aiming to rebuild and improve educational spaces for kids in Ukraine, starting with a first project in Chernihiv. Nova Ukraine's support of savED's initiative will arrange bomb shelters in the school facilities, rehabilitate damaged buildings, and create new up-to-date educational spaces in Chernihiv. 

Our project is the stories of children of ordinary residents of the city of Chernihiv. Here is Taras's story 8 years old, he loves football and will show his school and his favorite city.

Chernihiv became one of the main outposts that took the main hit and slowed down the aggressor’s assault on Kyiv in spring.  After the departure of russian troops of the Chernihiv region, approximately 180,000 people remain in Chernihiv. 20,000 of them are children. Before the war in the city were 34 schools, for now, 2 schools were completely destroyed and 25 schools suffered severe damage and need restoration.

A priority task for the next 6 months to repair 4 schools - #20, #28, #29, #31 and 5 shelters in school #3 and kindergartens - #32, #65, #53, #76

The total number of students in these schools is 4669. We together can help such a huge number of children to resume their normal studies at once.
