The Charitable Foundation "Children's Future" stands out by fully covering the costs of distance learning for students whose parents died in the war. It also partially covers the cost of education for the following categories of children:
● evacuated from territories of active combat operations;
● residing in temporarily occupied and liberated territories;
● whose parents are military personnel participating in combat operations;
● individuals with post-traumatic consequences and health disabilities due to war events.
