Laptops for Ukraine

back

Give your spare laptop, phone or tablet a new life in the hands of a Ukrainian healthcare worker, teacher, student. Ukrainian cultural institutions are also seeking the help of organisations and other EU institutions in preserving their collections at risk due to the war.

About the initiative

Ukraine needs your help to stay connected

Since the start of the full scale Russian invasion, it has become increasingly difficult for the Ukrainian people to stay connected.

The war has had a devastating impact on Ukrainian infrastructure, and millions of people have been displaced, forcing their work, education and social lives online. It is estimated that 200,000 schoolchildren in the most affected regions are now learning remotely.

A severe shortage of electronic devices like laptops, tablets and phones threatens to unplug the Ukrainian people from the internet.

At the same time, the greatest ever relocation of museum collections took place, counting over 300.000 evacuated objects, to protect Ukraine’s art from the war. Digital devices can help to keep track of evacuated Ukrainian cultural heritage, to preserve them, or to restore them if needed.

Let’s keep Ukraine connected.
