Story

At Svitlo School, Ukrainian children are passionate about learning English and want to read English books. Unfortunately, books in English are difficult for them to obtain. There are limited books in English in the standard Ukrainian curriculum, and buying them in Ukraine can be very expensive.

We want to create a Svitlo School Library, so that all our students from across Ukraine can access English books sent to them by post. Svitlo means ‘light’ and you can help bring this to Ukrainian children by helping us build our online library and supply school bomb shelters at Ukrainian schools with English books. Your donations will contribute towards the stock of the books and postage fund to send books to Ukraine.

We know that childhood reading brings profound and varied benefits in cognitive development, language, educational attainment and wellbeing. But for Ukrainian children, the benefits are even greater:

- Books can provide a meaningful distraction and escape from the everyday realities of war.

- Books can be enjoyed during power and connectivity blackouts, which our students regularly experience.

- 42% of children have limited or no access to classroom learning, so books can help combat learning loss

Help us create a library and fuel our students’ imagination, curiosity, knowledge and future success.
