The experience and needs identified during the previous winter were also taken into account.lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltp dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38margin-top:0ptmargin-bottom:0pt"gtltspan id="docs-internal-guid-513e4cb8-7fff-f3a6-9448-f5bdc6e9bf31"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: rgb(0, 0, 0) text-decoration-color: initial white-space-collapse: preserve"gtThe overall idea of the project is to help different vulnerable categories in the most convenient way for them, to cover the most common needs. Several areas of activity were identified.ltbrgtFirstly, people living in areas where there are operating stores will be issued certificates for the purchase of warm winter clothing. We plan to hold a tender among existing stores and winter clothing suppliers to select the best offer. The store will have a wide range of winter clothing, including jackets, shoes, pants, hats, thermal underwear, etc. Each recipient of the certificate will be able to exchange it for the most necessary goods, taking into account their own needs, preferences and size. As a lesson learned, we use our own experience of distributing thermal underwear last year, when requests for other warm clothes were added to the general positive and favorable feedback, as well as requests to find a way out of the problem of mismatching the available sizes of thermal underwear and the sizes that the beneficiary directly needs. The approach of certificates and allowing each beneficiary to choose from a wide range of goods will make the assistance as high-quality as possible.lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltp dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38margin-top:0ptmargin-bottom:0pt"gtltspan id="docs-internal-guid-513e4cb8-7fff-f3a6-9448-f5bdc6e9bf31"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: rgb(0, 0, 0) text-decoration-color: initial white-space-collapse: preserve"gtSecondly, IDPs living in rural areas who need to heat their homes in winter are offered assistance with fuel briquettes. Vulnerable families will be selected and briquettes will be delivered directly to their homes in the amount recommended by the WASH cluster, which will help to significantly reduce the burden on the family budget of these families and ensure preparation for the heating season.lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltp dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38margin-top:0ptmargin-bottom:0pt"gtltspan id="docs-internal-guid-513e4cb8-7fff-f3a6-9448-f5bdc6e9bf31"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: rgb(0, 0, 0) text-decoration-color: initial white-space-collapse: preserve"gtThirdly, for those beneficiaries who live in the city and have to pay rent, assistance will be organized to compensate them for their rent. According to the cluster's recommendations, this compensation will be provided for three months, which, given the increase in utility costs in winter, will reduce the burden on the budget of vulnerable beneficiaries. lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltp dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38margin-top:0ptmargin-bottom:0pt"gtltspan id="docs-internal-guid-513e4cb8-7fff-f3a6-9448-f5bdc6e9bf31"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: rgb(0, 0, 0) text-decoration-color: initial white-space-collapse: preserve"gtTo implement the plan, the project plans to involve a sub-partner organization. As part of the project, Posmishka UA plans to increase the capacity of our partner through training, consultations and comprehensive support throughout the project.lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltbr class="Apple-interchange-newline"gtltbrgtlt/pgt
