EMPOWERING WOMEN IN UKRAINE 🦸‍♀️ 🇺🇦

Since 2019, Estonian Refugee Council and Garage48 have worked in collaboration, to support women in the Eastern and Central regions of Ukraine in regaining their livelihoods through entrepreneurship. Over 4 years, the Empowering Women Entrepreneurship Programme has shown the strength and determination of Ukrainian women in defying the most difficult odds. By launching micro- and family businesses that support their own livelihood as well as others, and provide jobs and critical services, they fight for Ukraine’s freedom by supporting the resilience of the people and the economy on a grassroots level.

We have opened the programme for the fifth time, to meet the next Ukrainian superwomen. The Empowering Women Entrepreneurship Programme in Ukraine in 2023-2024 is open for next applications.

The whole programme is happening online and you'll have the opportunity to improve and get new entrepreneurial skills, learn from experienced entrepreneurs and specialists, build your business network, develop or redefine your business plan, and work on the design of your products and services. Our experienced local and international mentors from the entrepreneurial and technology sectors will be sharing their best practices in building successful businesses.

Applications are open to women from KIROVOHRAD, POLTAVA, and CHERKASY regions, who have lost the means to provide income for their families due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

We are welcoming women individually with ideas for a micro business located in Ukraine from various fields, apart from agriculture.
