LEVEL UP-GENerating change in Ukraine
For one and a half years (1 January 2023 – 1 June 2024), LOES and GEN Ukraine worked together on the project “LEVEL UP – GENerating Change in Ukraine.” The aim of the project was to strengthen GEN Ukraine as an organisation, promote opportunities for green entrepreneurship for people in eco-communities, and strengthen the network with other NGOs, national stakeholders, and local authorities.
What the project has done:
- Benefited more than 450 eco-community members and 450 internally displaced people through activities such as courses, conferences, and more.
- Trained 60 people in green entrepreneurship, strengthening their productive skills and their potential for income-generating opportunities as residents of the eco-communities.
- Established 4 bicycle workshops, which not only repair mechanical bicycles but also produce electric bicycles.
- Organised 12 workshops to share knowledge and build bridges with local authorities.
LOES thanks GEN Ukraine for its valuable work. The partnership continues to grow stronger through mutual learning, support, and collaboration. We will continue our work and support the sustainable reconstruction together with GEN Ukraine in our upcoming projects.
A big thank you to CISU for the financial support that makes it possible for a Danish NGO to support its partner in Ukraine.
