Innovation: the innovative strategy that make model operate (decrease the % of human in traffic) consist in creating the work places, development enterpreneurship and give equal access (quik and cheap) to information at a national and regional level. We deeply believe economic independence leads the reasons stay and work homeland and do not chance to find oneself abroad.

Opening the enterpeneurship, business studying and information supporting our target group we eliminate their needs to find theirselfes abroad. And it eliminate the risk to be involved in trafficing for their children, neibors and friends who going to. also we create the base of stable economic system and public/private/government collaboration. Our ogranization "For the ballance in society" work with Government structures such as: Kabinet of Ministry, Government Social Center, Kiev Employee Center and other; other NGOs and private sector.
