The project provides a one-time cash payment for the purchase of fuel materials like firewood during the winter 2024 season.

IDP households registered after Feb. 24, 2022 and who are unable to purchase fuel materials, whose household income is less than the subsistence minimum of 5,400 hryvnias ($144), and who fall under one of the six vulnerability criteria can apply:

  • people with disabilities or serious illnesses

  • single person over 55 or a household consisting of one or two elderly people who do not have the support of relatives

  • single mothers/fathers or guardians of minor children

  • large families (three or more minor children)

  • pregnant women or mothers with children under 3 years of age

One mandatory criterion is that the household cannot have received similar assistance from other organizations.
