Location and general information
Context
According to the UN and the Prosecutor General's Office, 6,755 civilians have died in Ukraine since the beginning of the war, including 424 children. This number is constantly increasing due to daily rocket and artillery attacks on civilian objects by Russian forces. A large proportion of deaths are a result of the delayed or insufficient provision of first aid. According to research, up to 54% of injured individuals could be saved by relatively simple actions such as stopping bleeding. We work specifically with teachers, since they spend a significant amount of time with children throughout the day but only a small percentage of them know first aid.
Project goals
- Create a safe school environment
- Train teachers and students in first aid and safety during a war
- Provide schools with first-aid kits
- Promote awareness in society of the importance of those who work with children being able to administer pre-medical care
