Help Ukrainian Schools affected by War

As of December 2022, 2,800 schools have been destroyed in Ukraine. The total amount of destruction is estimated at $6.95 billion. This is all because of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. Instead of studying, children have to sit in bomb shelters, move to other regions, because rockets are constantly launched from the territory of the aggressor country. Before the war, the Girls STEM community had 100 branches. The branch is a club that unites girls, where they study interesting topics in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Now, a year later, there are half as many branches left in the Girls STEM Community - 50. Schools and branches have been destroyed. That's why schools are in need for any item which can be of help  for learning process, esp. learning in STEM. 

I want to read you a letter from the Girls STEM branch from the Kherson region, which was occupied and then liberated. "From the beginning, until the occupation, we still tried to work at least remotely, to the sounds of explosions. But then the Russians came. The school was almost completely destroyed due to active hostilities. Part of the textbooks, some materials and "remains" of furniture were saved from the rubble. The Stem Girls room which was the STEM laboratory was "uprooted". Fortunately, the children were no longer inside. Almost everyone with their families flew to save their lives, and communication was cut off. After the liberation, as soon as communication was restored, a STEM girls  who survived the occupation asked us: When will we start STEM activities?”

Thanks to the  the project donations CSR Ukraine and STEM Girls program purchased necessary items for 12 schools and STEM teachers of the STEM Girls community. The necessary items included:  School blackboard instead of old one, where nothing could be seen for the schoolchildren, 3D pens, experiments in physics, chemistry, mathematics, STEM research kits and Chemistry  Experiment Set, Science games, Set for experiments "Magnetism", an Interactive globe,  a color printer, clamps 2-4 units, immersion hand blender, wide container ( to implement a project to create decorative paper)

These items could be used also in the STEM corner in the shelter  or in the STEM laboratory.
