Kyiv • UNN
The MHP-Hromadske Foundation and MHP launched the MHP Ridzyma program, offering grants and support for veterans to develop their own businesses and create veteran spaces.
From the first days of the full-scale war, the MHP-Hromadske Charitable Foundation and its strategic partner, MHP, decided to create all the conditions for veterans to return home. To do this, the charitable foundation and the company are developing the MHP Poruch program for the reintegration of veterans, provide grants for the development of their own business and contribute to the creation of veterans' spaces, UNN reports.

In addition, the charitable foundation and its strategic partner MHP support organizations that help veterans. Among them is now Veteran Hub, an organization that has been providing services and support to soldiers and their families during their return to civilian life since 2018. "The reintegration of veterans is already a common challenge and task for every family, community, business and state. For its part, the MHP-Hromada Foundation is working to create opportunities for veterans to return to their communities: jobs, businesses, and social connections. We are grateful to Veteran Hub for their cooperation and support," emphasizes Tetiana Volochai, Director of the MHP-Community Foundation.
So, veterans and their families can get it:
⁃ psychological support,
⁃ legal assistance,
⁃ Participation in support groups for families of military and missing soldiers.
"The charitable foundation is already strengthening the work of the Support Groups at the Veteran Hub. Thanks to this, the space has launched new Support Groups and held 60 meetings for those waiting for soldiers and missing soldiers, in particular, in the communities of Kyiv, Vinnytsia and Cherkasy regions. It is important for us that people who are going through similar experiences can safely share their feelings and support each other," MHP Community said.
