New Enrolment Opens for Micro-Entrepreneurship Support Programme

For the second consecutive year, the Ukrainian Red Cross, in partnership with the Spanish Red Cross, Danish Red Cross, and Swiss Red Cross, is supporting vulnerable people in developing and rebuilding their own businesses through the Reboot programme.

Internally displaced persons who are able to carry out business activities within their communities, as well as those affected by the war — including war veterans and their families — are invited to submit their business ideas. Residents of the Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Lviv, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, and Cherkasy regions, as well as the city of Kyiv, are eligible to participate.

The most promising business ideas in each region will receive funding of up to UAH 100,000, provided in two stages. Stage 1 – 50% of the microgrant awarded upon approval. Stage 2 – the remaining 50% released upon successful implementation of the business plan.

Support is available for the following types of business activity: agriculture, manufacturing, services, retail, and wholesale trade.

The deadline for submitting the original signed application form and copies of supporting documents is 15 August 2025.

Please note: the number of grants is limited.

To participate, contact the Ukrainian Red Cross hotline at 0 800 332 656 (select option 1 from the menu).
