Preparation during the conflict Donor The project "Enhancing Preparedness for Conflict and Protection of Civilians in Ukraine" is aimed at improving the awareness and preparedness of the population for emergencies and armed conflicts. The project is implemented in partnership with NPA (Norwegian People's Aid), which is a guarantor of high quality and effectiveness of training programs. Project duration: From May 1 to September 30, 2024. Key activities: Within the framework of the project, three mobile teams of training specialists organize and conduct training sessions for the population. The main topic of the lecture and training sessions is "Readiness and Protection in the Event of Conflict". Purpose of the sessions: The main purpose of these sessions is to increase the awareness of the population about actions in emergencies and during armed conflict. This includes preventing danger to one's own life and health, as well as the lives of one's relatives and loved ones. Expected results: Increasing the number of trained citizens who know how to act in case of emergency. Increasing the level of population safety in conditions of armed conflict. Preventing possible dangers and minimizing risks to the civilian population. This project is an important step in strengthening the security and preparedness of Ukrainian citizens, providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills for protection in the event of a conflict. According to preliminary estimates, almost 30% of the territory of Ukraine or 174 thousand sq. km is contaminated with explosive objects as a result of the armed conflict in Ukraine. As of September 2023, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 740 people were injured, of whom 242 people died, including 13 children. The armed conflict has caused a massive presence of mines and explosive devices in frontline areas. So massive that the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs considers Ukraine one of the most mined countries in the world. According to The Washington Post, after interviewing experts, demining could take hundreds of years. Explosive weapons will continue to pose a threat to civilians for a long time, especially children and young people who do not always understand the risks associated with them. Often, people do not have sufficient knowledge about how to recognize and avoid mines and explosive devices, as well as about the possible consequences of their use. This is confirmed by a U-report survey of 4,415 young people from Ukraine on mine safety rules. As part of the survey, the overwhelming majority of respondents, 54% in the Dnipropetrovsk region and 50% in the Zaporizhia region, would like to receive more information on how to behave properly around a mine or ammunition. Also, the indicator of Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia regions, 42% and 45% (respectively), on the lack of good awareness of citizens on mine safety, allows us to understand the relevance of this issue and the need for systematic prevention of accidents. Knowledge of EORE (Explosive ordnance risk education) is an important component of CPP (Conflict Preparedness and Protection). These two topics provide comprehensive knowledge from the point of view of protecting and surviving citizens in case of conflicts and crisis situations. Comprehensively - CPP is about actions in unforeseen circumstances, in conditions of limited resources and time. About how to act before, during and after a dangerous situation, which is extremely relevant in today's Ukraine. 40% knowledge improvement 4 community 107 training sessions 1940 beneficiaries "This project is extremely relevant for Ukraine and, mainly, the East of the country. Thanks to our efforts, the average increase in knowledge among the beneficiaries is 40%. This shows the effectiveness of the training sessions and the real benefit for people. This project is not just training, it is protection the lives and health of our citizens. The efforts of the project team help to maintain security in our communities and ensure a future without fear of possible military conflicts and explosive devices. The personal motivation is to make Ukraine safer for each of us. Hundreds of positive responses from listeners give understanding that we are doing an important thing. I am sure that every citizen of Ukraine needs this knowledge, which is why the demand for training sessions does not decrease." Project coordinator "The project on informing about preparedness and protection in the event of a conflict is extremely important for the population. I directly conduct trainings on the ground, and I believe that this activity is an integral part of the process of informing people. During the lectures, the participants listen with interest, actively comment and take participation in discussions, which helps to learn the material better. At the end of the one-hour lecture, they willingly answer questions, which allows you to check the acquired knowledge."

Women’s economic empowerment is a cornerstone of the NGO "Martin-Club’s" activities. Economic Empowerment and Women's Leadership Work directions / Economic Empowerment / Women’s economic empowerment is a cornerstone of the NGO "Martin-Club’s" activities. Our work is grounded in global standards and the approach of UN Women, as we are convinced that financial independence is the foundation for dignity, self-fulfillment, and a woman’s full participation in community life. By providing access to resources, knowledge, and genuine earning opportunities, we create conditions where every woman can reclaim her agency and unlock her potential. Financial dependence is often the primary barrier preventing survivors from breaking the cycle of domestic or gender-based violence. That is why equipping women with the tools to achieve economic stability serves as our most effective preventive measure and a form of long-term protection. When a woman secures her own income and a stable professional footing, she gains the real ability to protect herself and her children, breaking free from her abuser and building a safe future based on equality and respect. A practical embodiment of this philosophy is the development of social entrepreneurship, centered around the "Mama 1" social bakery. It is more than just a producer of artisanal baked goods; it is a safe, welcoming space for training, internships, and employment for women facing challenging life circumstances—particularly single mothers and internally displaced persons. The bakery’s operations demonstrate how a socially responsible business model can effectively address pressing social issues, restoring self-belief to those who need it most. To ensure a systematic transition toward financial independence, the NGO "Martin-Club" regularly conducts comprehensive training sessions on women's leadership, financial literacy, self-employment, and project management. We help participants overcome stereotypes and internal barriers, master new professional skills, develop their own business ideas, or find their dream jobs. By fostering a community of confident women leaders, we not only transform individual lives but also strengthen the socio-economic resilience of the entire country.

We are open, we will listen, help or redirect" Project manager "At first, women and girls liked to attend sports classes more, then we offered to meet a psychologist, attend group classes with her, but due to the stigmatization of self-care, they responded reluctantly to such activities. But over time, we managed to convey that it is not shameful, not scary, there is help here. No one judges here, everyone tries to help each other. That's why it's very comfortable and peaceful here.

We created two social enterprises - Horizontal Coffee Shop and MAMA 1 Bakery. Social entrepreneurship Work directions / Social business / We started 2 social businesses: MAMA 1 bakery and Horizontal coffee shop . The idea of creating a social business came to us a long time ago. Back in Makiivka, we were building a small farm next to the shelter. When the organization moved to Dnipro, we decided to implement more global plans for ourselves. First, as part of the Rukavychka shelter, we built a bakery . The main idea was to create conditions for teaching baking to women who lived with children in the shelter, so that they would have income and self-respect. Bakery MAMA 1 - Not one, but the first , started working in 2017. We sold products through the website, social networks and partners. By 2024, the project will operate at 50% only for online orders or for special events. In 2019, we opened a coffee shop. It was a project that we really wanted to make sincere and socially active. The concept was a completely ordinary coffee shop with specialty coffee that donated 100% of the profits to the organization's social programs. In 2024, we closed the coffee shop, but the project itself moved in a simplified form to the premises of youth activities.
