Yulia Usovych is an IDP from Kherson. She had to leave her hometown because of the invasion and moved to Yampil, Vinnytsia region.

In her new place, Yulia started rebuilding her business.

Her company is all about extracting and processing natural stone. When she lost her main market in southern Ukraine, she started looking for new customers.

After hearing about the government’s “Grant for Your Own Business” program, Yulia applied for and got a grant pretty quickly. This helped her upgrade her equipment and increase production.

She’s planning to keep growing her business by selling more products in new markets and investing in the latest production tech.
