Project idea

The All Up project is aimed at supporting children who face learning difficulties due to adverse conditions. It organizes remote and in-person supplementary classes in core school subjects for: trainees from orphanages and boarding schools; children temporarily residing in social shelters; foster children and children from crisis families.

The goal of the project: to improve the educational outcomes of children who cannot afford tutors; to provide access to quality education for all children, regardless of their social status.

Key areas: assistance in obtaining education, preparation for exams (OGE, EGE); development of basic educational skills for obtaining a profession; expanding knowledge about the world, teaching counting and writing skills.

Format: remote classes via Skype or similar programs (for children from general education schools); in-person group classes (for children with special needs); career guidance camp in one of the project regions.

The All Up project strives to give children from vulnerable groups the opportunity to receive quality education and build a successful future life.

Relevance

All Up provides children left without parental care with quality education, which is a powerful motivator for personal growth. Children who grow up in adverse conditions often have educational gaps, which negatively affect their self-esteem, psychological well-being, and future careers. The project helps children with learning delays improve their academic performance, self-confidence, and relieve psychological pressure; it creates conditions for individual attention to each child, which is an important factor in their development. A teacher can become a key caregiver for a student, someone with whom they can discuss complex life situations; he strives to reduce the percentage of orphanage graduates with criminal records by providing them with knowledge and skills for independent living; demonstrates real results: since 2014, more than 320 students from 19 institutions have been trained in the "Remote Education" project, many of whom have improved their academic performance, passed the OGE, and entered colleges and universities.

The All Up project is not just additional classes, it is an investment in the future of children left without parental care. It gives them a chance for a full life and a successful future.

Increasing the accessibility of quality education for children raised in challenging life situations through additional classes in the school curriculum.
