• Cash for Works (rehabilitation or social work)

In NGCA, a pilot project was implemented in partnership with a national partner to provide:

• PSS
• Documentation support (restoration or obtaining legal documents)
• Provision of basic needs: food and hygiene kits.

Currently TGH implements two projects funded by the Ukrainian Humanitarian Fund and Fondation de France aimed at provision of protection and food security assistance to most vulnerable elderly and persons with disabilities in isolated settlements during winter months.

From March 2020 TGH will start implementation of a project supported by the CDCS (Centre de crise et de soutien), France, aimed at improving access to essential needs to beneficiaries affected by the conflict through electronic e-vouchers; provision of vital home-based care to vulnerable elderly and persons with disabilities along the contact line engaging community volunteers through a Cash-for-work modality; and provision of PSS, documentation support and essential aid in NGCA.
