Creating safe conditions for children’s learning and development by restoring and installing bomb shelters in schools and kindergartens.

About the Project
The Olena Zelenska Foundation is implementing this project to help children learn, develop, and stay safe.
Air raids have become a daily reality in many areas of Ukraine. Therefore, the Foundation is committed to creating protective premises that constitute full-fledged educational and psychological spaces. Equipped bomb shelters feature relatively safe places during wartime, where children can stay during air raids and study, rest, and feel more secure.
The restored bomb shelters have areas for study, rest, and communication with a psychologist. Each space is inclusive, accessible, and equipped according to the requirements of the State Emergency Service—that is, it is safe for all children, including those with disabilities.

The Foundation plans to expand its geography and increase the number of schools and kindergartens that receive high-quality, equipped shelters.
We aim to make education safe for every child in Ukraine.
