The rebuilding of a country is not defined by walls and buildings, but by the people who are able, willing, and determined to shape the future here. Yet war strikes at human capital — it disrupts education, drives talented youth to build their lives outside Ukraine, and weakens communities. Our mission is to preserve and develop this capital here and now.
This quarter, for the first time, we are presenting the consolidated results of the entire KSE ecosystem — the university, business school, institute, and foundation. By supporting the KSE Foundation, partners help strengthen the entire KSE community.
Access to quality education → Thanks to the support of donor partners investing in the future of education ($40 million), land has been purchased for a new campus on the banks of the Dnipro. This will triple the number of students and open new formats of learning.
International partnerships → Strategic agreements have been signed with the Harris School of Public Policy (University of Chicago), Brown University, and Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering.
Global academic mobility → More than 50 KSE students joined academic communities in the US and across Europe.
Scholarships for science → New programs were launched for STEM Olympiad winners and young researchers to encourage them to stay in Ukraine and advance science here.
Safety in education → An additional 2,500 schoolchildren returned to in-person learning thanks to new shelters built within the multi-year resilience program MYRP, funded by the UN global fund Education Cannot Wait.
Talent development → 9 STEM initiatives were supported and 30 Talents for Ukraine grants awarded, empowering Ukrainians to create solutions for the future here in Ukraine.
Support for the military and veterans → 12 units received equipment and reconnaissance drones, while the State Border Guard Service received 25 trailers and containers. Together with Khartia, we are launching educational programs for defenders.
