Natela Barbakadze and Natia Kusiani live in the village of Chiauri, Lagodekhi municipality. Because there is no beauty salon service in the village, they decided to open one and offer quality service to the residents.
To implement the initiative Natela and Natia participated in the Women’s Economic Empowerment project supported by UN Women and purchased equipment for the beauty salon. They are focused on customer satisfaction and offer a variety of services to the people from Chiauri and surrounding villages.
For now, they employed one local woman and think to develop their business. Natela and Natia want to add nail care service to the beauty salon, but for this they need to buy the appropriate equipment and products.
The project “Women’s Economic Empowerment through Social Mobilization and Capacity Building” is funded 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 by Kakheti Regional Development Foundation (KRDF), Taso Foundation (TF), and CARE International in the Caucasus (CARE).
