Restore Edu: Reconstructing, renovating and equipping schools to enable the safe resumption of in-person education in Chernihiv oblast
In this 18-month project supported by the Centre de Crise et de Soutien (CDCS) of the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Acted is reconstructing, rehabilitating and renovating conflict-affected schools in Chernihiv oblast, Ukraine.
Located in the north of Ukraine and bordering both Russia and Belarus, communities in Chernihivska oblast suffered substantial infrastructure damage during the first months of the full-scale invasion in 2022.
Access to key services like education remains disrupted due to damaged facilities, limited transportation options and a lack of adequate bomb shelters. Support to the social and economic recovery of education in Chernihivska therefore remains vital to restoring the lives of conflict-affected communities.
Through RestoreEdu, Acted is supporting the resumption of in-person education for school students across Chernihivska, including through:
– Structural repairs
– Non-structural repairs
– Water, sanitation and hygiene rehabilitations
– Bomb shelter renovations
– Construction of a new bomb shelter
– Delivery of IT equipment and other educational supplies such as STEM equipment and classroom furnishings
As a result of the project, it is expected that over 30,000 students and teachers will benefit from improved access to educational facilities.
