On October 22, the Congress and Exhibition Center Parkovy hosted the public presentation of a new humanitarian initiative for internally displaced persons — “Prykhystok.Robota.” This is an updated platform for finding housing and employment, supported by the International Renaissance Foundation.
“Prykhystok.Robota” marks the next stage in the development of the social project “Prykhystok,” launched at the initiative of MP Halyna Yanchenko on the first day of the full-scale invasion. Since then, the project has helped more than one million Ukrainians find free temporary housing. The new direction focuses on employment support, including opportunities to receive service or social housing.
The presentation took place in the
Small Exhibition Hall on the first floor of Parkovy, where organizers seamlessly combined a conference setup — audience seating and a speaker stage — with space for a reception and informal communication.
Representatives of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the government, business associations, leading companies, and city mayors spoke at the event.
MP Halyna Yanchenko emphasized that the project is entering a new phase.
“Our mission is to do everything possible so that Ukrainians can continue living and working at home, in Ukraine. I am grateful to all our partners who supported this initiative,” she said.
Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine Denys Uliutin added:
“If a person has a place to live and an opportunity to work, they don’t just survive — they become part of the local community, pay taxes, raise children, and strengthen their community. ‘Prykhystok.Robota’ is a practical solution that brings these two elements together.”
The event also featured:
- MP and co-founder of NGO “IDPs Ukraine” Maksym Tkachenko,
- Executive Director of the International Renaissance Foundation Oleksandr Sushko,
- Mayor of Mariupol Vadym Boichenko,
- Chairman of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine Dmytro Oliynyk.
The project expanded thanks to cooperation between the State Employment Service and the charitable foundation “Shelter Your Own,” and was supported by the
Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine.
The “Prykhystok.Robota” platform demonstrates how collaboration between the state, business, and civil society can turn ideas into practical tools that restore human dignity and social resilience. For Parkovy, it is always an honor to be the place where such ideas are presented.
See you at future events!
