Estonian Refugee Council is launching a new Emergency Livelihoods Programme, aimed at providing access to sustainable livelihoods for Ukrainian refugees in Georgia. This initiative is designed to support the most vulnerable households by helping them generate new sources of income and achieve the subsistence minimum. 80 Ukrainian refugee households will each receive a grant of 1,000 Euros. The grants can be used to set up new business or to purchase essential equipment for already existing businesses in order to enhance their livelihoods.

The employability programme welcomes people with a refugee background, who want to enter the labor market in Estonia or change their jobs. This program is suitable for everyone, regardless of their work experience or current employment status in Estonia. A total of 144 people can participate in the 5-day employability programme during a two-week period. The program lasts for 12 months. Upon program completion, participants gain the chance to engage in work practice or job shadowing across various organizations. A total of 12 groups are formed with an average of 12 people. The groups are held in Russian and English.
