Meri Fareulidze is involved in household activities in the village of Birkiani in Akhmeta Municipality. Her family owns the lands where they grow corn, wheat and other natural products. Meri always wanted to start additional activities and help her family financially.
After participating in the Women`s Economic Empowerment project supported by UN Women, Meri purchased adult chickens and began to sell their products. Meri`s chickens are on organic food and the demand for them is huge. She has quite a lot of satisfied customers, which makes Meri very happy, and what is why she wants to increase her production in the future.
