As the conflict continues, our ORT community in Ukraine are desperately in need of extra funding to purchase the following:
£100,000 – Odesa ORT School requires a complete electrical system overhaul.
£99,000 – Generator maintenance in all ORT Ukraine Schools.
£39,500 – Jewish education following a major reduction in Jewish studies teachers from Israel, due to the ongoing war.
£23,200 – Counselling for students, parents, and teachers who are traumatised from prolonged exposure to the stress of war.
£62,280 – Winter needs including thermoses, warm blankets and fleece jackets for students. Forecasts predict up to 17 hours per day without electricity, heating or water.
£40,000 – Meals in shelters.
£12,000 – Daily meals at the Simcha School in Kyiv.
£15,600 – Professional security services for two ORT Schools – Bila Tsverka and Zaporizhzhia.
£60,000 – Financial assistance for students’ families and staff affected by missile attacks and economic downturns. Many teachers’ wages have been lowered dramatically this year, and some are forced to teach extra hours due to limited shelter space, as students learn in two shifts.
£90,000 Batteries for schools – small charging stations for essential equipment like Wi-Fi, servers, and other critical systems.
£4,000 – GPON internet and network equipment for shelters.
£3000 – Odesa school security alarm system repair works.
In addition to the above costs, ORT Ukraine has a £1.5 million target to make the schools nearly 100% energy-independent.
With your generosity we can continue to provide essential humanitarian, financial and emotional support to our ORT community in Ukraine this winter. We will also ensure that our students continue to receive a seamless education and retain an element of normalcy, in what is a frightening and uncertain situation.
Thank you for your support.
