ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022, children’s education in Ukraine, especially in Eastern Ukraine, has been disrupted. Schools have closed and many of them were ruined; classes, if in session, are often held in dark, damp bomb shelters during air raids. Displaced families often share 1 phone on which parents may conduct their work, or search for work, and kids vie for time to do homework or tune into classes in their school far away from where they are now. Kids and parents may be traumatized causing dysfunctional behaviors in the homes and schools. LCWF provides computer tablets to displaced children and provides clinical psychological help to teachers coping with the effects of the invasion.
