A space for social adaptation and provision of services to people with disabilities, veterans, members of their families, and IDPs has been launched in the Sahuniv territorial community (Cherkasy region). This was reported by MHP-Urozhay, by UNN.

The space was set up on the basis of the village library. Currently, it hosts workshops and clubs for children, trainings for IDPs, and other activities. In the future, the library space will also become a multifunctional center for veterans and their families. It will be possible to get advice from lawyers, psychologists, and social workers.
The space was arranged as part of the "Time to Act, Ukraine!" social initiative competition, with the support of the MHP-Hromada Charitable Foundation and strategic partner MHP-Urozhay.
With grant funds in the amount of UAH 100 thousand and co-financing from the community budget, the library was renovated. In addition, the community has scaled up the project, involving UN partners in its implementation.
"We are sincerely grateful to the director of Urozhay and the MHP-Community Foundation for the opportunity to participate in the competition and the chance to realize our dream of creating a comfortable space for all residents of our community, both adults and children. I am confident that our hub will soon become a communication center for our neighboring communities as well," says Iryna Bodianenko, head of the community.
It should be noted that MHP-Urozhay, as a socially responsible business, is a powerful partner not only for the communities in which it operates. For example, with the support of the company's CEO Oleksandr Voskoboynik, social projects were implemented in Leskivska, Chervonoslobidska and Moshnivska communities in Cherkasy region, which addressed the issues of social adaptation and provision of quality services to people with disabilities, veterans, IDPs, as well as the organization of spaces for children with special educational needs and hubs for veterans.
