Let's help orphans by collecting computer peripherals for online lessons.

The educational program 'Shans' of the Arifmetika dobra fond helps high school students from institutions for orphans prepare for independent living: work with tutors, pass the OGE and EGE exams for further admission to VUZ and SUZ. Classes are held remotely, so teenagers need not only computers or laptops, but also webcams and keyboards with mice. This equipment helps the child fully participate in online lessons: see and hear the teacher, ask questions, respond in the chat with the teacher, and complete assignments.

According to feedback from institutions, we see that technical equipment remains a serious barrier to children's participation in online classes. Out of 33 orphanages covered by the 'Shans' program, more than 25 institutions have reported a shortage of modern technology and equipment for distance learning. Often, the number of classes is limited not by the needs of the children or the capabilities of the teachers, but by how many workstations can be organized for online lessons.

With the funds raised, the fond plans to purchase keyboard and mouse sets and webcams for conducting online classes. Teenagers will have the opportunity to fully engage with tutors, regardless of the technical equipment of the institution. The equipment will be distributed to several orphanages participating in the 'Shans' program so that teenagers can work with tutors, prepare for exams, develop communication skills, and move more confidently toward independent living.

Even a small donation will help make online learning more accessible and comfortable for children who need support in their studies and preparation for the future.
