Ukrainian Women's Entrepreneur Club Strengthens International Ties with Finland

A delegation from the Shyrokivska community in the Zaporizhzhia region recently traveled to Nivala, Finland, with support from WOF-UA. This visit led to the signing of a Memorandum of Mutual Interest between the two municipalities, paving the way for collaboration in key areas such as education, infrastructure development, business support and women's leadership. The partnership aims to introduce innovative solutions and enhance social services, benefiting both communities.

For WOF-UA grantee Olha, the visit was an opportunity to explore best practices in local governance, volunteering and women’s entrepreneurship, while grantee Iryna gained valuable insights into healthcare management and leadership. The Women’s Opportunity Fund continues to empower Ukrainian women by providing travel grants for professional and educational exchanges. In 2024 alone, the fund has already supported 14 women in attending international events across nine countries, fostering global connections and bringing transformative knowledge back to Ukraine.
