A grant recipient of the government program Vlasna Sprava from Sloviansk, Yelizaveta Savchenko, has taken another step toward strengthening her business by using the Energy Support for Sole Proprietors initiative.
The young entrepreneur opened a store selling clothing and equipment for the military. Her business is not just about retail — it also supports defenders with the necessary gear.
For such a business, uninterrupted operation is especially important: supplies, inventory management, and customer service all depend on electricity. That is why participating in the “Energy Support for Sole Proprietors” program became a logical step toward ensuring the stability of her shop.
