Together Charity Foundation’s Right to Education programme brings ten Ukrainian students to Oxford

In summer 2026, ten Ukrainian school students completed a two-week Oxford Royale summer programme in Oxford. Together Charity Foundation made this opportunity possible through its Right to Education programme, in partnership with Oxford Royale and Suhoviy Educational Consultancy. Tuition, accommodation and meals were fully covered for every participant.

The programme received around 500 applications. Ten students secured places through a competitive selection process that included personal statements. Participants came from different parts of Ukraine, including frontline regions. The foundation works to ensure that war and a family’s financial circumstances do not prevent children from pursuing their education.

The partnership brought Together Charity Foundation’s work with Ukrainian children together with Oxford Royale’s educational opportunities and the expertise of Suhoviy Educational Consultancy. In 2026, the programme also received support from Ukraine’s Ministry of Education and Science and the Ukrainian Institute of Education Development.

The Oxford programme has grown steadily. Its first participant in 2024 was Viktor from the Donetsk region. Six students received places in 2025, followed by ten in 2026. Behind this growth is sustained work with partners and a continuing search for opportunities the foundation can make available to Ukrainian children.

Together Charity Foundation’s founder and programme organiser, Valerie Nykyforets, highlights the strong demand for international education reflected in the number of applications. The foundation aims to help children take the next step towards their professional ambitions and discover opportunities that may previously have seemed beyond reach.

Students chose their subjects according to their interests. They attended lectures and practical classes, joined workshops and learned alongside peers from other countries. This experience gives young people the chance to explore a new environment and make more informed choices about their future education.

For Together Charity Foundation, developing Right to Education is part of its continuing work to help children build independent futures. We invite educational institutions, businesses and donors to support the programme so that more Ukrainian students can benefit from these opportunities.
