Minimizing the Impact of War on Education

"Lord, protect us from the rockets tonight and bless our soldiers."

These are the nightly prayers of children in Ukraine, where the ongoing conflict has devastated the education system, affecting millions. Schools, even those not in combat zones, are scarred by war, disrupting learning and depriving children of safety.

Current Situation

Many Ukrainian schools are damaged or destroyed, forcing children to adapt to online learning or attend classes in shifts due to limited shelter capacity. The constant threat of air and missile attacks creates a stressful environment, hindering education and well-being.

Andriy, a teacher, shares: "Before the war, Covid-19 disrupted education. Now, most schools work in shifts because shelters can't accommodate all children. We've become used to this stressful environment, ready to take cover at any moment."

Pursuing dreams...

Since childhood, Alex dreamed of teaching math, despite growing up in Moldovan poverty without a father. He cared for his family, including a brother with learning difficulties and a mother battling mental health issues.

Now 22 and in his third year of study, Alex balances academics with caregiving. "I manage our finances and household," he shares, describing a demanding daily routine that starts at dawn and ends late. Drawing strength from his faith, Alex finds support through Mission Without Borders' scholarship program.

Throughout childhood to university, Mission Without Borders has been Alex's ally, providing crucial financial assistance and mentorship. "Their scholarship makes my dream possible," he acknowledges.

Ion, a mentor since second grade, has been pivotal. "Ion believed in me," Alex reflects. "He's been there through every challenge."

As Alex nears his goal of teaching math and computer science, he remains inspired by his love for teaching children. "I want to make a difference," he affirms, grateful for ongoing support shaping his journey.
