In Ukraine, more than 400 educational institutions have been completely destroyed*, and the number continues to rise as the war goes on.
Born in co-operation of more than 30 Finnish companies, the Fun Academy on Wheels mobile education center addresses the urgent need for psychosocial support, early childhood education and care, therapy, and professional development. As a mobile unit, the bus can be stationed near a shelter, allowing for the quick evacuation of children to safety if necessary.
The globally operating Finnish startup Fun Academy has been providing aid to Ukraine since the start of the war. Now, through the Fun Academy on Wheels initiative, they are helping to ensure high-quality early childhood education in the war-torn region of Kherson, Ukraine.
This mobile center is equipped with training, therapy, and daycare facilities, as well as extensive daycare supplies and remote communication equipment.
