10,000-100,000 Laptops
Hunt for the Nightingales is a global hunt for businesses and individuals with the means to help procure 10,000 - 100,000 15”laptops for vulnerable students in Ukraine whose schools have been bombed, so that they can resume their education. This humanitarian initiative is led by NZ impact consultancy Eco Shepherd, supported by King’s High School (NZ), Vector Global Logistics (UK) and UNESCO (Ukraine).
The Ukraine Device Coalition estimated that the education of 358,000 students was halted due to bombed school facilities or living in conflict-affects regions, and who lack the means to secure devices for remote learning. To date, 240,000 laptops have been secured but there are still 118,000 students without devices. Our base target is to help 10% of the remaining vulnerable students (10,000), but ultimately we aim to close the gap by securing up to 100,000 laptops, which will ensure that every student in Ukraine is able to recommence their education, despite living in a war zone.
