Freedom Space

We are shelters in educational institutions to become safe and multifunctional spaces for the learning, development, and leisure of children.

With the onset of the war in Ukraine, the lives of adults and children became directly dependent on the availability of safe shelters throughout the country.

Most people had to wait for hours in cold, damp, and neglected basements.

As Ukrainians actively returned to work and children went back to school and kindergartens, there arose a need to find new approaches to organizing safe spaces in educational institutions.

The Freedom Space project has set itself an ambitious goal - to arrange as many shelters for children as possible throughout Ukraine.

These shelters are intended not only to serve the protective function but also to ensure uninterrupted learning processes or provide recreational opportunities.

To facilitate effective and comfortable time spent, there are plans for educational and play zones.

In addition to the above, such places can be used in peacetime for hosting children's parties, birthdays, and other entertaining events.

The Freedom Space successfully launched with the support of the Charity Foun of People's Deputy Andriy Bohdanets "HELP TOGETHER" and the financial backing of the international partner Freedom Holding Corp.

* This is what the shelter looked like before the start of repair works, and very soon we will share pictures of the renovated and equipped space with you. It will serve all participants in the educational process not only as a shelter during air alerts but also as a great place for educational events and leisure activities.

How safe are the updated shelters

The Freedom Space project is designed to provide children with a feeling of safety and comfort even during air alerts.

Being in the shelter ensures continuous learning processes and provides positive emotions that help protect children's mental well-being from stress.

The shelter improvement is carried out in collaboration with the State Emergency Service (SES) personnel.

Installing a quality ventilation system, electrical work, creating full-fledged sanitary facilities, and ensuring water supply are just a few of the things we are doing.
