We are fundraising for 50 pupils from Ukraine to have the wonderful experience of 2-week stay in a boarding summer school in the UK in 2025.

The total value of these placements generously offered to Svitlo Education free of charge by the most reputable schools like Harrow SHort Courses, MPW, International House, and others exceeds £102,000. This experience will give Ukrainian children a chance to:

- Learn English in a native-speaking environment

- Escape the war and experience peace

- Sleep safely at night and recharge for two weeks in a British boarding school.

- Build meaningful international connections

- Get motivation and encouragement to excell as a pupil upon return

Our Impact So Far

In the past two years, 44 Svitlo students have attended summer schools in the UK and the USA. Each one returned home with unforgettable memories, renewed hope, and new skills – ready to work harder, dream bigger, and uplift others.

"On my trip to Great Britain, the cultural differences struck me like nothing else. In this new environment, I learned not to be afraid to take initiative, and I became more open and confident. It wasn’t just fun – it was a huge step in my personal growth."

"This trip made me realise that communicating with people from different countries is an experience everyone should have."

Sasha, 11 years old

"I developed myself from so many perspectives. I improved my critical thinking, problem-solving, and research skills. I also enhanced my time-management, self-awareness, and listening skills – and most of all, boosted my confidence."
