Support for Rural Communities in the Kharkiv Region

The Ukrainian Red Cross, in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP), is implementing a livelihoods support programme for residents of rural communities in the Kharkiv region.

If you belong to a vulnerable group, such as internally displaced persons, people with disabilities, large families, or elderly individuals living alone, you may be eligible to receive support for your household or small-scale farming activities.

What does the programme offer?
Participants can choose one of the following assistance packages, valued at the equivalent of UAH 29,000:

• A greenhouse farming kit (includes greenhouse and drip irrigation system)
• A small-scale mechanisation kit (e.g. walk-behind tractor, wheelbarrow)
• A gardening kit (e.g. water tank, pump)

OR

• Financial support for farm development (e.g. livestock, beekeeping, food processing)

The programme also includes consultations, training, mentoring, and follow-up monitoring to ensure effective use of the support.

Important to Know:

• Participation is completely free
• No services or repayments are required
• If you’ve received similar aid in the last 6 months, your eligibility may be affected due to duplication checks
