These are safe, comfortable, and multifunctional learning spaces located within schools, allowing children to continue their education during air raid alerts.
Today, schooling in Ukraine is impossible without a shelter either inside the school or directly adjacent to it. And such a space must be more than just safe and minimally comfortable — it needs to be fully equipped for continuous learning during frequent or prolonged air raids.
We take a comprehensive approach to creating shelters in schools.
We renovate basements and equip them with modern ventilation, heating, lighting, waterproofing, and restrooms. This way, outdated basements are transformed into modern educational spaces designed with the safety and comfort of students and teachers in mind.
Once construction is complete, we furnish the shelters with comfortable furniture, sound-absorbing curtains, equipment, books, and board games.
According to children and teachers, shelters created by savED are often more modern and pleasant to learn in than the old school buildings above them.
We create shelters in the communities where air raids happen most often, ensuring that children can continue their education in safe, well-equipped learning spaces.
Students across Ukraine still lack safe and well-equipped shelters where they can continue learning offline. You can make a difference — from fully renovating a school shelter to funding equipment, furniture, or a small library. Contact us to choose a project that matches your support!
