Ukraine opens another accessible café in western Khmelnytskyi region

Ukrainian authorities opened an accessible cafe in Shepetivka, the Khmelnytskyi region.

Sunny Coffee is a place where people with intellectual disabilities work, the Khmelnytsk regional military administration reports.

The cafe was opened thanks to the government project "YeRobota". The initiative provides Ukrainians with grants for starting a business, developing entrepreneurship and training, and is aimed at boosting entrepreneurial activity and stimulating the creation of jobs.

Employment and socialization of people with mental disorders are essential, especially during the war.

"Currently, in our country, the issue of employment and socialization of people with mental disorders is very relevant, and that is why I am sincerely happy about such a wonderful initiative here in Khmelnytskyi. I wish the owners of the cafe prosperity and the visitors – to have a good time with a cup of delicious coffee," the statement says.

The cafe was opened on the initiative of the head of the organization "Children of the Sun" and entrepreneur Ludmila Naumets.
