Grant projects of the German government are aimed at the most pressing tasks to be solved by the Ukrainian Social Investment Fund in cooperation with local authorities: housing for IDPs and assistance to medical institutions.
Housing for IDPs is one of the Foundation's priorities.

The main goal of the project "Promoting the development of social infrastructure.

Thanks to a grant from the German government and the work of the UFSI, new apartments for IDPs are finding their inhabitants. We strive to provide housing for IDPs to those who really need it

Another area of activity of the UFSI in cooperation with the Government of Germany is assistance to medical institutions.
Many medical facilities in Ukraine need to upgrade infrastructure and upgrade medical equipment, which is not provided due to lack of public funding. Two grant projects of the German government are aimed at helping medical institutions. By the middle of 2024, 53 primary and secondary medicine facilities will be reconstructed and provided with medical equipment.
