Stories of successful projects
Social bakery
«Korzhyk»
The first inclusive bakery «Korzhyk» in Fastiv, Kyiv region, where you can enjoy incredibly delicious cakes and cookies made by a «sunny» boy Mykyta Dunayev. Together with Father Vitaliy Martsyniuk, who learned about Mykyta's dream of becoming a confectioner, they managed to create a special place with a cozy atmosphere.
The Ukrainian educational platform promoted development and gave us the opportunity to learn!
We started our social service 10 years ago. Now, together, we are moving towards creating a social enterprise. We want to take care of socially vulnerable people, as I know many of them personally.

I lacked the resources and a team that would be the support and engine of these ideas. When I found out that there was training not just for me, but for a large number of people, and even before that, on the spot in the community, I realized that this was my motivation for change in the community - training for the team! That's how it all started...
