Project Kesher Receives $1.5 Million Grant

Project Kesher is thrilled to announce that we have been awarded a grant totaling $US 1.5 million through the generosity of a national group of Jewish women philanthropists through the Jewish Federations of North America. The funding will allow us to expand the critical support we provide to women and girls in Ukraine as the country endures its third year of the latest conflict with Russia.

With our long history of delivering gendered humanitarian aid and supporting women-focused grassroots advocacy in Ukraine and other countries, we will direct the funds to a portfolio of initiatives that deliver outsized benefits to individual women and girls, families and communities throughout Ukraine. These include grants to women who own and operate small businesses; gendered humanitarian care; health and safety information for women in wartime Ukraine; and the further empowerment of women’s philanthropic community in Ukraine to ensure that the country’s nonprofit sector is meeting women’s needs.
