Infosys and Street Child are working together to support children’s education in Ukraine, which has been severely disrupted by conflict. Their efforts include creating digital learning spaces and providing resources for students and teachers to continue learning effectively.
Infosys, a leader in digital services, has partnered with Street Child, an international children’s charity, to address the educational challenges faced by children in conflict-affected Ukraine. Together, they have established seven Digital Learning Centers (DLCs) and launched a Digital Transformation program to provide tailored online learning resources for students and teachers. This initiative is part of their effort to mitigate the disruption caused by the ongoing conflict, which has significantly affected Ukraine’s education system, leaving 1.9 million children dependent on remote learning.
The collaboration began in 2024 with plans to create and renovate five DLCs in Dnipropetrovsk, a region in Eastern Ukraine. However, by the end of the first year, seven centers were completed including one renovated by an all-female team due to limited male workforce availability. These centres provide secure spaces equipped with laptops, internet, projectors and accessibility features such as wheelchair ramps. Additionally, they include areas for mental health support to assist young learners in coping with the challenges of remote education during the conflict.
In just three months since their launch in September 2024, the DLCs have supported over 1,000 children by providing high-quality educational materials and secure learning environments. This initiative aims to create a more resilient education system in Ukraine. Tom Dannatt, CEO of Street Child, emphasised the importance of digital education in crisis-affected areas, expressing pride in the early success of the collaboration which demonstrates its potential to benefit other regions in need.
Infosys is a global company that focuses on digital services and consulting with a strong dedication to making a positive impact on society. Street Child, founded in 2008, is a rapidly growing charity that works to ensure children are safe, attending school and learning. Together, they strive to support communities by improving education even in difficult situations. This partnership reflects their shared commitment to creating solutions that improve lives in areas affected by crises.
