The EU Civil Protection Mechanism said it had delivered more than 1,000 laptops to Ukraine.
“Access to the Internet can be a lifeline for millions of displaced Ukrainians,” says a Facebook post by the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. “Let’s keep Ukraine connected.”
The devices were delivered as part of the ‘Laptops for Ukraine’ initiative.
It was launched by the European Commission in December 2022. Initially, it aimed to collect and deliver laptops, smart-phones and tablets and respond to the fundamental needs of schools, hospitals and public administrations in Ukraine’s most affected war regions. In June 2023, it was expanded to help cultural heritage institutions in Ukraine to digitally document, scan and photograph documents and objects at risk of being lost due to the war.
