In Vinnytsia, a two-month series of training workshops on micro-entrepreneurship and grant writing, organised by the Ukrainian Red Cross, has come to an end

The training was part of the “Reboot: Expanding Employment Opportunities” programme, implemented by the Ukrainian Red Cross with the support of the Spanish Red Cross.

The participants included individuals who had received micro-grant support to restore or start their own businesses, as well as prospective participants. This provided a unique opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs, including internally displaced persons, to receive both financial support and the knowledge needed to develop their own businesses. The training was led by Oleksandr Trehub, an experienced trainer, economist, and entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurship development is fundamental to the economic growth and stability of the country. For those who were forced to relocate and lost their jobs or businesses, starting their own enterprise offers not only a way to adapt to a new place of residence, but also an opportunity to restore their financial independence and build a future within a new community.
