In partnership with the World Food Programme, the Ukrainian Red Cross team in the Kharkiv region has begun providing assistance to residents of the Barvinkove and Savyntsi communities as part of the Support for Frontline Households project

In October, 126 households received drip‑irrigation kits, which will help increase crop yields, reduce water use, and better manage their household gardens.

In November, the distribution of motor cultivators began — essential equipment for preparing land for cultivation. In total, the project plans to provide 275 units of small-scale agricultural machinery, offering vital support to families seeking to restore or expand their livelihoods.

At the same time, the Ukrainian Red Cross team is carrying out verification visits, during which the information provided in participants’ business plans is reviewed. This approach ensures a more accurate assessment of household needs, improves the quality of support, and strengthens the project’s impact on local community development.

As a reminder, the project began in April 2025 and will continue until the end of November 2025.

We believe that supporting small-scale farmers is an investment in strong, resilient communities. Together, we are creating the conditions for growth and recovery!
