Czech NGO Offers Ukrainians Up to $4,000 in Micro-Grants to Start a Business.

Micro-Grant Initiative Launches in Ukraine

According to Novyny.live: A new micro-grant program is being rolled out in Ukraine by the Czech humanitarian organization 'People in Need'. Designed to assist individuals facing economic hardship, the project provides financial support of up to $4,000 to help launch a small business. The initiative is funded by Switzerland, highlighting international commitment to fostering entrepreneurship in Ukraine.

Applications will be accepted until March 31, 2026, giving many aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to secure the capital they need. Grant funds can be used for:

• purchasing equipment
• carrying out renovations
• buying materials
• marketing efforts
• other expenses that help grow a business

Priority for these grants will be given to people with disabilities, internally displaced persons, single parents, senior citizens, and veterans. This focus ensures that those who face the greatest challenges in pursuing their business ideas receive the most support.

The NGO 'Fight For Right', which advocates for individuals with special needs, is also helping to implement the program. Their involvement is expected to improve the overall environment for entrepreneurship in Ukraine.

Regions Covered by the Project

The program covers several regions across Ukraine. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, micro-grants are available in the cities of Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, and Pavlohrad, as well as in the Dnipro and Samar districts. In the Kharkiv region, residents of Berestyn, Kharkiv, Lozova, Bohodukhiv, and Chuhuiv districts are eligible. The initiative aims to boost entrepreneurship and strengthen economic stability in these areas.

By targeting socially vulnerable groups, this micro-grant project represents a significant step toward improving their financial situation while stimulating broader entrepreneurial activity across the country. Such backing from international organizations reflects a growing focus on addressing social issues and finding local solutions.
