Internally displaced women who participated in the GENTLE project presented their products near the MISTOHAB space. The project aims to support those who seek to rebuild or start their own businesses in host communities.
This is the final stage of the initiative. During the project, trainings with psychologists and training in the basics of entrepreneurship were organized for women. The winners received financial assistance to purchase the necessary equipment, mentoring support, and the opportunity to hold fairs in their communities.
"The craft fair of participants of the NIZHNA project is a space where every product or product is warmed by the warmth of women's hands, where everything is made with soul, qualitatively, sincerely, tasty and beautifully. We are glad to have the opportunity to support our unique craftsmen who make our world cozy, filled with meaning and kindness," shared the impressions of the project manager Iryna Dudka.
Thank you to everyone who joined in, supported female entrepreneurship, and gave each other a little light on the eve of the holidays.
