The Women’s Opportunity Fund of Ukraine is building a strong, sustainable future for Ukraine - led by women.

WOF-UA was founded in the spring of 2022 in Kryvyi Rih as a response to the war. Since then, the Fund has supported women, families, and communities at every stage of rebuilding and renewal. As the initial shock of war subsides, Ukrainian women are actively reimagining their role in society—stepping forward to lead and shape the future of their communities and country. WOF-UA is growing alongside them—supporting women entrepreneurs, empowering local leaders, and investing in Ukraine’s recovery through women’s leadership.
