Maia Tedeshvili is an entrepreneur from the village of Birkiani in Akhmeta Municipality. Maia always wanted to start her own business and offer salon services to the locals.
To implement her idea Maia participated in the Women`s Economic Empowerment project supported by UN Women. With the help of the project, she was able to purchase the necessary inventory and start preparing for running a small business. Maia offers various services to her customers: haircut, coloring, manicure, makeup and eyebrow correction. In addition, she also goes through an internship in one of the beauty salons of the district.
The project “Women’s Economic Empowerment through Social Mobilization and Capacity Building” is supported by Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), implemented in Georgia by Kakheti Regional Development Foundation (KRDF), Taso Foundation (TF), and CARE International in the Caucasus (CARE).
