Create a social action business
The project "Dreams in Action" is being implemented to create social entrepreneurship by women affected by the war, to strengthen the role of women in Ukrainian society, to support them in self-realization and increase their self-confidence, and will work in two directions: to promote the creation of business by participants and the development of charity, through the implementation of a training program and the provision of mentoring and financial support.
During the project, women will receive mentoring support, we have already held 12 lectures on social entrepreneurship and launched a grant competition, after which 20 participants will receive funding in the amount of UAH 370,000.
The newly created community will have the opportunity to further support each other and engage in charity to support socially important projects.
The initiative is being implemented with the technical support of unwomenukraine and funded by the United Nations Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) wphfund, a flexible and responsive funding instrument that supports quality interventions to increase the capacity of local women to prevent conflict, respond to crises and emergencies, and seize key peacebuilding opportunities.
WPHF provides emergency funding to local women's civil society organizations (CSOs) in Ukraine. With technical support from UN Women, WPHF funds women's organizations and women-led CSOs to support their critical frontline work, provide urgent humanitarian assistance to refugee women and internally displaced persons (IDPs), and protect women and girls from sexual and gender-based violence.
