Type: Grant
Location: Ukraine
Deadline: Finished

This is a chance to receive EUR 60,000 to help people in difficult life circumstances.

Build a new homeless shelter, start a free psychological support service for refugees, or buy computers for the team to handle more requests per day. You will have a year to implement the idea in the territory controlled by the Ukrainian government.

The programme is managed by the “Network 100 per cent Life Rivne” charitable organisation within the framework of the EU4CSOs Empower UA project, which is implemented with the financial support of the EU. This is one of thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.
