Teach For Ukraine (TFU) is a registered non-profit organization working to address the problem of education inequity in Ukraine. Our mission is to ensure that every child in Ukraine can realize their potential through a quality education, especially during the war. Before the War Before Russia's large-scale invasion in February 2022, Teach For Ukraine was focused on bridging the educational gap between children from rural and urban areas, which was almost 2.5 years difference in their knowledge and skills (PISA-2018). We recruited, trained, and placed more than 50 teacher-leaders in disadvantaged schools with a high teacher shortage, a lack of role models for children to look up to, and opportunities for developing their talents. We partnered with 18 schools in the five regions of Ukraine, including Kyiv, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Dnipro, and Odesa regions. This gave us the opportunity to provide more than 5,000 children with young, talented, tech-savvy, and highly motivated teachers. The Impact Report can be found here. During the War When the large-scale war started, we temporarily suspended our core program to launch the Emergency Response Projects. In the last 18 months, we provided direct and indirect academic and psychosocial support to more than 25,000 children inside and outside Ukraine and 90,000 educators, partnering with UNICEF, the World Bank, Save the Children and others. These projects included free online tutoring classes, safe learning spaces for displaced children, offline summer camps and wellbeing workshops for teachers.
