With the support of the Embassy of Ukraine in Egypt, a charitable project was carried out to provide diesel generators to educational institutions in the Sumy region.
Thanks to charitable contributions from representatives of the Egyptian private sector, two high-capacity generators were purchased and delivered to the Hlynsk Special School (for children with special needs) and the Hlynsk Vocational Agricultural Lyceum. This project—implemented as part of an initiative by Minister Andrii Sybiha to provide aid to communities in frontline regions—delivers a direct, practical benefit: a stable power supply ensures the continuity of the educational process, supports heating and lighting systems, and keeps essential equipment running—including in the dormitory, which houses children with special needs as well as children displaced from frontline communities in the Sumy region. Consequently, students and educators now have access to safer and more predictable conditions, even amidst the war.
Following the project’s implementation, an online meeting was held, attended by the Ambassador of Ukraine to Egypt, Mykola Nahornyi; representatives of the NGO “Volunteer Center ‘Kolo'”; Anton Dziuba, Head of the Foundation for Educational Initiatives; Viktoriia Hrobova, Director of the Department of Education and Science of the Sumy Regional State Administration; Serhii Hrytsai, Vice-Rector of the Sumy Regional Institute of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education; Vadym Hordiienko, Director of the Hlynsk Vocational Agricultural Lyceum; and Serhii Krykun, Director of the Hlynsk Special School. During the conversation, gratitude was expressed to Egyptian benefactors for their solidarity and practical support, and to the volunteers for their well-coordinated logistics and assistance in installing the equipment.
It is worth emphasizing that, even amidst challenging security conditions, education must remain uninterrupted; after all, school is not just about acquiring knowledge—it is an environment where society is shaped. That is why supporting children and educators today is an investment in Ukraine’s future.
