Charitable program “IT Courses for Children” by the “Oriental Star” Fund

Program goal:

The “IT Courses for Children” program by the “Oriental Star” Charity Fund aims to support children who have lost their parents due to the war. Through this initiative, they will have the opportunity to master modern IT technologies and skills. Courses in programming, web design, and cybersecurity will help them not only explore new horizons in the IT world but also secure their future. The program’s objective is to enable children not only to gain knowledge but also to rebuild their self-confidence and improve their life prospects.

Partners

This program is carried out in collaboration with the Charity and Sponsorship fund “Helping War Victims,” which supports initiatives aimed at assisting those affected by war. Another partner is the “Proforientator UA” platform, which will help children undergo professional aptitude testing to determine their inclination toward the IT field. This approach allows each child to be guided into the most suitable area of development.
