Fundraising for Svitlo Reads

Giglets Education is raising money for Svitlo Education
We created a Svitlo School Library so that all our students from across Ukraine can access books in English sent to them by post. Svitlo means β€˜light’ and you can help us illuminate the future of Ukrainian children through education πŸ“– and reading.

Story

Help Giglets Education raise money for the children affected by the war in Ukraine!

We have proudly partnered with Svitlo School during the last 18 months to support their mission and help keep children across Ukraine reading! You can find out more here: https://www.svitloschool.com/what-we-do/svitlo-reads

Hear from the Svilto children in their own words:

" We want to create a Svitlo School Library, so that all our students from across Ukraine can access English books. Svitlo means β€˜light’ and you can help bring this to Ukrainian children by donating a new or pre-loved book to our online library and help us supply school bomb shelters at Ukrainian schools with English books. You can send us pre-loved books from your own collection, purchase a book from our wish list or contribute to our 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.
