Project activities were presented in communities

The activities of the project "Support for the social and financial recovery of war-affected communities in the Poltava region" were presented.

Deputy Director of the NGO "Light of Hope" Anatoliy Pavlenko held meetings with potential participants of the initiative, telling in more detail about the main areas. Namely:

• grant support for microbusiness owners;
• professional training and retraining;
• financial support for entrepreneurs for employment;
• job fairs.

The meetings took place in the communities where the project is being implemented: Poltava, Myrhorod, Lubensk and Kremenchuk. They became a kind of platform for direct dialogue with those who plan to take advantage of the proposed opportunities. Potential participants had the opportunity to immediately clarify all the details that interested them.

Such meetings were organized so that those present could better understand the support mechanisms and be able to make a clear choice of the direction that they need most.

Representatives of the Made in Ukraine office were also invited to each meeting. They spoke about the possibilities of state support. After all, one of the key points when implementing non-governmental initiatives is to interact and strengthen state initiatives and avoid duplication.

The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Light of Hope NGO in partnership with JERU (Joint Emergency Response in Ukraine of the international NGOs Welthungerhilfe and Concern Worldwide).
