20 women started/expanded their social enterprises as part of the "Dreams in Action" project
Throughout the year, the participants mastered the field of social entrepreneurship, studied a lot, collaborated with mentors, and actively implemented their ideas.
The goal of the Dreams in Action project is to strengthen the role of women in Ukrainian society, support them in self-realization and increase their self-confidence. We worked in two areas: facilitating the creation of businesses by the participants and developing charity.
"The social component is very important to me, because today each of us is responsible for our future, and if we think and analyze the problems we face today, we can solve and prevent them in the future. Therefore, for me, it is not only charity, it is also a part of philanthropy, when we try to do everything to avoid the same challenges in our future."

The entrepreneurs are ready to provide mentoring support to those who want to start their own social enterprises, share their experience, support financially and train, develop their own communities and philanthropy.
