WE NEED A SPONSORS !

​ "SAVE OUR SCHOOLS – S.O.S in Ukraine" was launched 18.04.2025 to support schools and sports clubs in Ukraine. The primary goal of the project is to build bridges to support Ukrainian schools and sports clubs both mentally and physically by organizing partnerships with schools and sports clubs from Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and the United States.
Did you know that many Ukrainian schools have been devastated by the war? In July 2023, Ukraine's Ministry of Education reported that over 180 schools had been completely destroyed and more than 1,000 schools had been damaged. Russia, a member of the UN Security Council, is responsible for these actions.
Through this letter, we would like to send an S.O.S. request to all schools and sports clubs to share friendship and support with Ukrainian students who, despite the bombings, still wish to continue their studies. If schools do not have bomb shelters and it is dangerous to move in the area due to Russian military terrorism and war crimes, students will switch to remote learning. Remote learning can be very lonely, and we believe that you can be one of the friends who can support these children and youth mentally. They have experienced bullying and the worst physical threats, such as the destruction of school buildings by missiles and bombs, as well as the loss of lives and loved ones.
​ Project does not collect money but shares contact information for schools and sports clubs that want to support peace efforts for the benefit of Ukrainian schools and sports clubs. Sister schools and sports clubs can come up with joint projects with Ukrainian sister schools and sports clubs. If sponsors join the project, we will provide account details from Ukraine, where financial support will go directly to the donor's chosen cause, such as educational and sports equipment.
​The first aid areas are located in the Mykolaiv region, where widespread destruction has occurred, and the water supply system has collapsed after Russia blew up the dam in the surrounding area.
The project aims to help schools and sports clubs in the Mykolaiv district during the first year. The project's duration is at least 10 years.
​If you have friends who might be able to respond to our S.O.S. request, we hope to hear from you. You can reach us via WhatsApp at +358 45 125 8817 (please note that the mobile connection may be poor in Leshnikovo village, Bulgaria, where our office is located).
