Since then we provide comprehensive support to international humanitarian projects in Ukraine:

  • Providing information about existing possibilities of registration of international humanitarian projects in Ukraine, their strengths and weaknesses and help in choosing the best option (subdivision of a foreign NGO, charity foundation or international technical assistance project);
  • Registration of the selected option (from drawing up documents to opening a bank account);
