Support Literacy for Ukraine's War-Affected Kids

Build a Brighter Future for Ukraine’s Children, One Child and One Book at a Time

Join us in empowering Ukrainian children through the joy of reading!

Inspired by the resilience and creativity showcased in the "Children Draw War Not Flowers" exhibition, this GoFundMe campaign, in collaboration with the Little Free Library® (LFL) and San Jose State University’s School of Information, aims to nurture literacy and provide safe spaces for Ukrainian children affected by war.

We're building library housed book spaces, consisting of handcrafted Little Free Library® book sharing houses & collections of children books. These spaces, designed by local Ukrainian artisans, will provide safe havens for children to read, learn, and dream.

We have phased goals, starting with Cherkasy and expanding to Kyiv and other regions.

Your Donation Will Fund:

Books: We will curate each LFL book sharing house with a steady stream of children's books.

Community Outreach: Partner with local librarians and communities to ensure success.

Our Project Stages:

Cherkasy Launch (Goal: $5,000) - 3 LFL Book Houses, purchasing of children’s books

Kyiv Expansion (Goal: $10,000) - 3 more LFL Book Houses, more books

Ukraine-Wide Impact (Goal: $25,000) - 4 more LFL Book Houses in other villages, expanding our book collection

Donate now and be part of building a brighter future for Ukraine's children, one child and one book at a time. Donations will be transferred to the local chapters of Ukrainian Library Association, beginning with Cherkasy, Ukraine.
