Svitlo Education is a registered charity in England and Wales. Our mission is to nurture the future social and political leaders of Ukraine by providing them with a safe, supportive, and enriching educational environment today.
We illuminate the future of Ukrainian children impacted by war by offering:
- Daily English-taught lessons in various disciplines, encouraging critical thinking
- A safe and stable online community that supports students’ mental health and wellbeing
- A sustainable model built through collaboration with business and education partners
- Access to educational opportunities in Britain and America
Your contribution will go toward visa fees and plane tickets for 30 Ukrainian students attending these incredible summer schools.
These placements are not rewards based on grades. Instead, we recognise students who show initiative, engagement, and proactivity both in class and beyond. Attending summer school allows them to take a much-needed break from the ongoing war, deepen their English and communication skills, join a vibrant, international learning community, and return home more inspired, motivated, and empowered.
