Beetroot Academy launched a fundraising campaign to help Ukrainian refugees start a career in tech

We are a Swedish-Ukrainian tech school, helping people switch into tech since 2014 when the war first started in Donbas. Since then, we trained more than 7 000 students; and 5% of tech specialist in Ukraine in 2021. This fundraiser aims to provide tech education scholarships for 1000+ Ukrainian refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), allowing them to start a new career and secure a stable income to support themselves and their loved ones.

Why is it important to do now? Just take a look at numbers and facts:

• 10 million people have left their homes. Imagine the population of Sweden leaving their land.
• More than 3 million have fled Ukraine. Imagine the empty city of Los Angeles.
• 53% of Ukrainians have lost their jobs already. It's more than the unemployment rate during the Great Depression.
• Most refugees are women with children and young people who lost everything.
