Natalia Bublichenko breeds black chickens that lay colored eggs. She develops the KoKoRela eco-farm in her free time. The woman and her husband Yuri are human rights activists. They lived in the Saltivskyi district of Kharkiv, which was under shelling from the first day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Therefore, in the spring of 2022, the couple moved to the countryside in Poltava region. They continue to engage in their main activity. Natalia Bublichenko also heads the local council of internally displaced persons (IDPs). But after experiencing stress due to shelling, the woman decided to create an eco-farm. It was with this business idea that she won the NIZHNA project. Natalia's plans are to open an eco-farm for visitors so that they can relieve psycho-emotional tension by contacting the chickens.
