OTI is proud of the work we accomplished in Ukraine in 2024, including coordinating with the local government to promote access to education for conflict-affected children ?? We look forward to further supporting Ukrainian citizens in 2025.
This week, USAID delivered the first batch of 3.2 million textbooks to young Ukrainian students. After Russia destroyed a major printing house, OTI supported the Ministry of Education to produce and deliver textbooks – ensuring uninterrupted education for 1st and 2nd graders.

Through OTI's Connecting Communities program in El Salvador, two women's groups—once isolated by trauma and divisions—are now uniting to create real change. The Miraflores Women in Action group from San Miguel welcomed the Chancala Women's Network from Mejicanos for a mentoring exchange. These women, some of whom had never left their neighborhoods due to violence, are now traveling across the country, connecting across five communities, and sharing strategies to combat violence and empower each other. Even in the face of division, Salvadoran women are leading the way toward unity and resilience.

Here's to continuing our shared mission in 2025 and beyond — working hand-in-hand with local partners to promote stability, peace, and democracy around the world.
This week, to mark our 30th anniversary and celebrate local partners, OTI hosted an event featuring current and former partners including Hugo Arévalo Franco, Executive Director of Asomunicipios; Bojan Bo?kovi? and Rajko Bo?i?, co-founders of Exit Festival, and Raed Al Saleh, Founder and Head of the Syria Civil Defense, popularly known as the White Helmets.
