Almost two years ago, Dmytro Kniaziuk made a quiet, slightly terrifying decision: he wanted to try teaching someone English. He had no training, no formal experience, and, by his own honest admission, very little confidence. What he did have was curiosity, a willingness to try, and a classmate who mentioned a program called ENGin. That small beginning would grow into something far larger than he ever expected.

In 2025, ENGin served more people, launched new programs, and deepened its impact in ways that go far beyond English fluency. Today, we're proud to share our 2025 Annual Report — a full look at the year's achievements, the people behind them, and what they reveal about the power of volunteer online connection.

Osama Raii, an 18-year-old student from the coastal region of Syria, knows that feeling intimately. And it was from within that restlessness that he discovered something that would change the course of his life: a small nonprofit connecting Ukrainian students with English-speaking volunteers for weekly conversation practice, called ENGin. This is his story.
