An information event on support for internally displaced people has taken place in the Bucha community. Participants discussed employment, training, starting a business, housing and social support.

The event was reported by Bucha City Council.

What was discussed

Representatives of the employment service presented grant opportunities for displaced people, in particular the Own Business programme. Bucha mayor Anatolii Fedoruk described the support the community provides to displaced residents.

The event, titled New Start: Opportunities for IDPs in the Bucha Community, brought together in one place the tools people usually have to hunt for across different institutions.

Who spoke about regional programmes

Kyiv regional council deputy Vadym Herashchenko and Ihor Meshchan, director of the social protection department of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, also took part. They set out the support programmes available at regional level.

So the conversation went beyond the community: some of the tools are available through regional bodies.

Why it concerns many

Bucha district has taken in displaced people since the start of the full-scale invasion, and for some of them a temporary stay long ago became permanent life. For such families, work and a business of their own matter no less than housing.

Earlier we reported who can receive up to 4,000 euros for their own business under the Bucha recovery programme.
