Alevtyna*, 35, lives with her family in Dnipro region — an area close to the frontline that has also become home to many internally displaced families. She and her husband are raising three children: Anton*, 12, Mykhailo*, 10 and Anna*, 3, and run a small household with livestock, including a bull, goats, rabbits, ducks, and chickens. The family relies mainly on the husband’s income, social assistance, and child benefits. Winters are especially difficult, as illnesses and rising costs often stretch the family’s limited resources. Farming is an important part of their survival, but last year the harvest failed, adding to their challenges. With support from Save the Children, Alevtyna* received assistance to strengthen their household, including cash support and trainings. The family used the cash to buy a new motor for their agricultural machinery, buy fuel and seeds. Through training, Alevtyna* also gained practical knowledge on growing vegetables and improving soil quality — skills that help the family better sustain themselves despite the ongoing war.

They are often prevented from working outside of the home, which results in not having their own income and little decision-making power regarding the resources in their household.
