“Children in Ukraine are exposed to the traumatic experience of war, with tanks and weapons, they were forced to leave their homes. When the war started, we decided to become the most beautiful memory of the war for the refugee kids.”, said Igor, the founder of EduJoc – a social enterprise in Moldova that produces educational toys for children.
The social business distributed for free over 300 elastic toys, that help these refugee kids express their emotions by creating stories with these cubes. They also offered over 200 puzzle maps with the regions of Ukraine so that the little ones can continue the educational process and create a new healthy routine and feel connected to their homeland.
You can watch this meaningful and touching story of EduJoc here. This video material is prepared by the #EUnlocking Project.

“A new generation of Ukrainian kids may grow in exile, their lives will never be the same, they rely on our help and solidarity, together we can provide them some learning materials to help them to start a new healthy routine, realise that the life is going on.”, shared Igor.
