Ukrainian Red Cross Social Enterprise in Nizhyn

Today, amid the ongoing war — as the number of people in need continues to grow — the Ukrainian Red Cross remains a reliable pillar of support for communities, while actively exploring new approaches to sustainable development.

War changes the lives of millions, but it does not take away childhood. That is why an Innovative Mobile Psychosocial Support Space has been launched in Nizhyn — a social enterprise designed to help children and their parents cope with the emotional impact of war. Through play, creativity, and warm human connection, this safe space offers an environment for recovery, where children can once again feel joy and simply be children.

This initiative was made possible thanks to the REDpreneurUA Programme, which supports the development of social enterprises within Ukrainian Red Cross branches.

The REDpreneurUA Programme is implemented by the Ukrainian Red Cross in partnership with the Austrian Red Cross and with the support of the Neighbour in Need Foundation (Austria).
