Svitlo School is a registered charity in England and Wales with an important mission - empowering the future political, social and business leaders of Ukraine to become confident, knowledgeable global citizens.
We provide an educational sanctuary for Ukrainian children affected by war and have supported more than 2,500 students since the Russian invasion in February 2022. Svitlo means ‘light’ in Ukrainian and your fundraising efforts will help more children to ‘Shine Bright with Svitlo Light’.
We need your support to grow our safe, stable and unique educational community, where children can enjoy learning, creativity and new friendships. We provide a positive and valuable distraction from the war, cultivating their curiosity with engaging lessons and exciting collaborative projects. Our students tell us that Svitlo School has brought hope, motivation and happiness back into their lives.
We can support your fundraising efforts by inspiring you with fundraising ideas, helping you set up a Just Giving page or sharing your story via our newsletter or social media.
