Tsitsino Bolkvadze lives in the village of Maradisi, Marneuli Municipality. She always wanted to have her own income from the poultry industry and help her family. That is why Tsitsino participated in the Women’s Economic Empowerment project supported by UN Women. With the help of the project Tsitsino bought an incubator and started to sell chickens.
Tsitsino chickens are on organic feed and consumers are also very satisfied with her service. She sells chickens among the local population and also cooperates with various institutions. Tsitsino wants to develop in the future and diversify service. She is going to produce and sell turkeys together with chickens. For this, she needs finances to renovate the space for birds.
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).
