SCHOOL BUS APPEAL
Our current focus is on raising funds for a school bus.
There are 45 children between 3 and 15 years old in Oleksandriya Territorial Community living in remote villages i.e. Pishchanyi Brid, Pustelnykove and Korolivka who fully rely on the services of the school bus to get to their school and preschool every weekday. The bus that Oleksandriya currently uses has only 32 seats which is why some of the children are always late for school as the bus must do 2 trips to transport all the kids in Izmailivka village where the school and preschool are located.
Iryna Cheremys, the Deputy of the Mayor of Oleksandriya, informs, “This bus has been operating for more than a decade every working day and driving on bad country roads which badly degraded since the war started. It is in a very poor state and needs repairs regularly. Countless times, the children failed to get to their school or were disturbingly late due to its breakdowns. Back in 2023 we appealed to the Ministry of Education to provide us with a new school bus, but because of the war we do not know whether the state can help us, and the future of our country, our children by then will have missed on crucial education.”
