challenges.
John Caplan, CEO of Payoneer, commented:
“Congratulations to all our winners and business leaders who
entered the Payoneer Entrepreneurship Awards. Cross-border small
businesses are the heart of global trade, and it is inspiring to
see our customers from across the world make a meaningful impact on
their local communities and the global economy. Payoneer
entrepreneurs are the best in the world and this award is our way
to recognize the very best.”
To further the impact of these businesses, Payoneer has
partnered with Kiva, an international nonprofit with a mission to
expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive. The
winners are awarded credits that give them the chance to pay it
forward to other entrepreneurs who need the funding to keep growing
and to experience the power of microfinancing their businesses.
One of the winners who will be receiving Kiva credits is Wood
and Hearts Inc, a Montessori furniture manufacturer in Ukraine.
Wood and Hearts won the disruptive business award for their
pioneering child-safe non-toxic products. After the war in Ukraine
caused the majority of their production lines to cease operations,
Wood and Hearts used Payoneer’s working capital solution to
establish new manufacturing sites in other regions of the country.
Denys Shkribliak, Owner & Founder, commented on the motivation
behind his work: “My kids have always been my inspiration. I
started to work with wood when I understood that plastic toys may
be harmful to the health of my kids. All I do now is because of my
dear family.”
