Challenge
Ukraine’s educational system was heavily hit by the russian invasion – over 360 educational campuses were destroyed and more than 2500 were damaged, 700 thousands of students, pupils and faculties were displaced, educational processes were interrupted or impeded.
Support for world-class EDUCATION is critical for rebuilding Ukraine, developing human capital, and boosting the economy.
We strive to:
- Ensure student/professional outreach and engagement during the war
- Offer global excellence in educational content
- Provide equal educational opportunities to Ukrainians
Mission
We bring world-class education into Ukraine, ensuring equal learning opportunities.
UGF is a not-for-profit impact initiative coordinated by K.FUND non-profit charity. We work under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine with the support of the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance and grant funding from the Ukrainian Startup Fund.
Global Contributors
We invite the brightest minds from across the globe willing to commit to 3 hours of lectures per semester (online) for the Ukrainian audience.
