The Dignity and Security project was aimed at meeting the basic needs of women with disabilities aged 25+ (elderly women, women with a family member with a disability, disability or an elderly person) who found themselves in a difficult life situation, especially in the context of war. The project was implemented for 5 months with the financial support of UN Women Ukraine and the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund.
Implementation period: July - November 2023
Main results of the project
During the five months of the project, our team met the basic needs of women in difficult living conditions by providing humanitarian aid:
5000 grocery sets (each set included 14 different products with a total value of UAH 900)
1000 sets of household chemicals;
1000 hygiene kits (including diapers, diapers, urological pads, wet wipes).
Our team has targeted thousands of women and women who care for people with disabilities with food packages and individual hygiene kits (diapers, diapers, urological pads and wet wipes). Responding promptly to the needs, our team members always completed and delivered the kits on time.
Humanitarian impact
The project's activities complied with Sphere's international humanitarian standards and were aimed at helping vulnerable populations most affected by the war. The main focus was on supporting:
women with disabilities
elderly and women with limited mobility;
women caring for people with disabilities.
The implementation of these projects can be considered an optimal example of financial instrumentation by international funds to support local initiatives in crisis situations.
