Reconstruction of the Kyiv Vocational College of Technology and Design after missile strikes

Educational institutions in Ukraine remain among the most vulnerable facilities during the war. Airstrikes and blast waves not only destroy buildings but also halt the educational process, depriving young people of the opportunity to learn in safe and proper conditions.

In mid-February 2025, an enemy missile struck near the Kyiv Vocational College of Technology and Design. The blast wave shattered dozens of windows and doors, damaged the building’s facades, and destroyed some interior spaces. This disrupted in-person classes: the cold, drafts, and risk of debris made it impossible for students and teachers to stay in the classrooms.

The windows in the college’s workshops were very large, so their replacement would have incurred extremely high costs.

Recognizing the importance of uninterrupted learning, the Solidarity Charitable Foundation took on the task of replacing the college’s damaged windows. Our goal was to create bright, warm, and safe classrooms — spaces where students can not only learn, but also explore, create, and thrive.

As part of the project, 114 windows were replaced and their frames fully restored. Through the efficient use of available resources, our team ensured that the work met the highest standards of quality, functionality, and durability. The materials used provide long-lasting thermal insulation, energy efficiency, and reliability. Students now enjoy a comfortable environment that supports both learning and the development of their professional skills.
