Svetlana Akhmedova is a woman entrepreneur in the village of Karajala, Telavi Municipality. To help her family, she decided to run her own business and participated in the Women’s Economic Empowerment project supported by UN Women. Under the project, Stvelana bought a cow and started producing and selling dairy products.
Svetlana's products are natural and mainly include milk, cottage cheese and butter. Svetlana wants to develop the business in the future and sell her products in the local market as well. To do this, she needs extra cows and feed for them.
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).
