Infosys has established seven Digital Learning Centers (DLCs), under its three-year collaboration with Street Child, to address the educational challenges faced by children in crisis-affected areas of Ukraine.
This collaboration addresses the profound disruption to Ukraine’s education system caused by the ongoing conflict, which has affected over 3,700 educational institutions and destroying 365 schools, as reported by Save the Children. The conflict has forced roughly 1.9 million children - nearly half of Ukraine's school-aged population - to rely on partial or fully remote learning solutions. Recognizing this critical need, Infosys joined hands with Street Child in 2024 to launch two impactful initiatives: creating DLCs - secured physical spaces equipped for online learning and a Digital Transformation program, leveraging Infosys Springboard, Infosys’ flagship digital learning platform, to provide tailored courses for students and teachers.
Initially focused on creating and renovating five DLCs in Dnipropetrovsk, an Oblast in Eastern Ukraine receiving less international aid due to its proximity to the front line, the collaboration remarkably delivered seven within 12 months into the engagement. Notably, one center was renovated by an all-female team of contractors, as conscription limited the availability of male workers.
Launched in September 2024, these centers have already served over 1,000 children in their first three months of operations. Each center is equipped with laptops, high-speed internet, multimedia projectors, educational materials, security systems, and accessibility features such as wheelchair ramps and modified bathrooms. Additionally, designated spaces for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) provide critical support to young learners.
The Digital Transformation program focuses on preserving Ukraine's cultural identity by offering courses in Ukrainian Language and Geography for Grades 5 and 6. For teachers, topics such as Cybersecurity and Anti-Corruption are addressed through specially developed courses, aligning seamlessly with Ukraine’s national educational platform, All Ukrainian Online. Together, these initiatives are helping build a robust and resilient educational foundation for both students and teachers.
Infosys is a leading provider of consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation digital services, enabling clients to execute strategies for their digital transformation.
