Today, Vice Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk visited Vsi. Svoi is the largest platform of Ukrainian brands. She learned about the Wings project to support Ukrainian women.

Pact and Convictus Ukraine are helping women in the Kyiv region start or grow their businesses. The Government of Canada is supporting this initiative.

The project also involves women in Lviv, Poltava, and Kharkiv.

The project helps IDP women, women whose partners are in the military, women veterans, and vulnerable women.

To date, the program has trained 551 participants in employment skills, 1,078 women have received business training, and 480 have received funding to purchase equipment or materials for their businesses.

“I would like to express my gratitude to the Government of Canada for providing financial support for this project. I would also like to thank the Kyiv Regional Labor Office and Denys Darmostuk, Director of the Kyiv Regional Employment Center, for their assistance in implementing the project. We must support such projects and our people. They are professional, talented, and highly motivated,” said Iryna Vereshchuk.
