Story
Thousands of Ukrainian schools have been damaged or destroyed, leaving 1.7 million children learning remotely or in a hybrid model. But around 300,000 children inside Ukraine can’t access remote learning due to a lack of devices.
To help meet that need, Theirworld is working with the Ukrainian government to urgently deliver more than 100,000 laptops so some of the most vulnerable children can keep learning despite the disruption of war.
Please help us by taking on a steps challenge this June. For every £200 raised, Theirworld will be able to donate one HP laptop to help a child in Ukraine stay connected to education.

Fundraising matters
For every £200 raised, Theirworld will be able to donate one HP laptop to help a child in Ukraine stay connected to education.
You may think a laptop is just a laptop. But for young Ukrainians, a laptop is a lifeline. It provides a connection with family and friends, a sense of stability during a crisis and, most of all, a way to keep on learning.
The money you raise will help provide laptops for vulnerable children in Ukraine, enabling them to access education, receive trauma support and contact friends.
