About EDUkraine
Empowering Ukrainian refugees through free English education, one lesson at a time.
Breaking Down Language Barriers
EDUkraine is a passionate student-run organization dedicated to providing free, personalized English lessons to Ukrainian refugees. We believe that language should never be a barrier to building a new life.
Our community of dedicated high school students works tirelessly to offer individual English lessons for all proficiency levels, ensuring that every Ukrainian has the opportunity to communicate, connect, and thrive in their new communities.
Every Story Matters
Behind every language lesson is a powerful story. Ukrainian refugees have left behind homes, careers, and dreams, arriving in foreign countries where simple communication becomes a daily struggle.
"Those who once aspired for promotions or dreamed of entering their ideal universities are now desperately seeking housing and ways to earn enough money for food."
According to research, about 70% of Ukrainian refugees cite language barriers as the main reason for their unemployment. We're here to change that statistic, one conversation at a time.
