Applications Now Open for the Reboot Micro-Entrepreneurship Support Programme!
Due to the war, thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes, lose their jobs, or shut down their businesses, with some losing everything at once. This is why the Ukrainian Red Cross is launching the Reboot Programme, which includes support for micro-entrepreneurship initiatives. The aim is to help individuals from vulnerable groups start, restore, or grow their own businesses.
Who can apply:
- Internally displaced persons (IDPs) who registered after 24.02.2022 in the following regions: Lviv, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kirovohrad, Poltava, Mykolaiv, and Kyiv. Note: Applicants must be able to conduct business activities (create, develop, or restore a relocated business).
- Local households affected by the war, including veterans and their families, as well as individuals who have lost their businesses or jobs.
Who can receive support:
The main beneficiaries are able-bodied members of households aged 18 to 65 who fall into one or more of the following vulnerability categories:
- Families caring for elderly people (65+) or persons with disabilities in groups I/II
- Households with two or more children under the age of 18
- Single parents (as defined in Article 135 of the Family Code of Ukraine)
- Unemployed individuals, both those registered and not registered with employment services
Applications will be accepted until 7 May 2025.
