In February, the Ukrainian Red Cross, in partnership with the UMIND NGO, conducted another series of educational webinars for women entrepreneurs as part of the Supporting Women’s Economic Empowerment in Ukraine programme
A total of 1,078 participants from across the country joined the events.
The first session of the month was the webinar “Money Without Stress: How to Manage Your Personal Budget.” Financial literacy business coach Tetiana Anufriieva explained how to manage finances without strict restrictions and why a financial cushion is an important psychological support.
“A budget is not a limitation, but a map that shows where your money goes. Without it, you are simply moving forward blindly,” she noted.
The topic of effective planning was explored during “Time Management for Women: How Not to Lose Yourself in Daily Tasks.” UMIND Operations Director and ICF-certified coach Yuliia Tsaruk shared techniques for mindful time allocation. Participants discussed why plans fail without an overarching strategy and learned the “3 × 3 Focus Day” tool.
Mental health was addressed in the training “Basics of Psychological First Aid: How to Support Yourself and Your Team.” Crisis psychologist Kateryna Krylenko introduced participants to fundamental methods for supporting others in stressful situations and provided practical self-care techniques to maintain personal stability.
The final event in February was a lecture by lawyer Roman Peresada, “Legal Literacy for Micro-Business: How to Operate Professionally Without a Legal Team.” He advised entrepreneurs on creating a safe business system, selecting the appropriate legal structure (sole proprietorship or limited liability company), and setting up electronic document management.
The February webinar series combined financial and legal expertise with time management and psychological resilience skills. This comprehensive knowledge will help women not only adapt to market challenges but also confidently and safely grow their own businesses.
