Cimislia Rural Women's Business Center
|
|
|
|
December 2005 We're currently working on three new projects.
Combatting Violence in the Family
The Rights of Women: Increasing self-esteem through knowledge
Re-Educating women 35-50 through Management & Computer Skills
By the new year, fully developed projects will exist for all three. |

|
|
May-October 2005 The Ukrainian Fund for Women funded seminars, professional development and the facillitation and creation of our 5-Year Strategic Plan. |
|
|
| January 2005 We began the 'Center for Information and Computer School' with the computers donated from MamaCash. (Note: as of December 2005 - 8 groups have completed the course, and several women have secured new, better jobs armed with their new computer knowledge.) |
|
|
|
May 2004 We submitted the Cimislia Rural Women's Business Center project to MamaCash in the Netherlands and they accepted it! The budget was severly modified though, meaning that we're only able to purchase the needed computers and will have to find volunteers to teach the classes. |

|
| March 2005 Lia-Cimislia President, Natalia Raileanu, spearheaded the Cimislia MicroUniversity for Micro Business. 30 participants (over 50% from villages, and 50% women) attended bi-weekly seminars for 7 consecutive weeks. Participants had 8 lectures on accounting alone. Other topics covered were: marketing, writing business plans, how to get a loan, working with the Fiscal Inspector's Office, rights of consumers, selecting the right business idea, and 3 round tables with sucessful Cimislia business men and women. These seminars were funded by the United States Embassy in Chisinau. |

|
| April 2004, the Global Funding Secretariat rejected our grant proposal. As did the Global Fund for Women. |
|
|
| February 2004. We applied for in a grant with the Global Funding Secretariat. The grant was due February 29, 2004. |

March 2004: Our first project is an ambitious one. In response to the hundreds of thousands of women who have been forced to leave the country to find decent work to support their families, the board of Lia-Cimislia has focused on the lack of business opportunities and support for women-owned micro-businesses within Cimislia. The answer: the Cimislia Rural Women's Business Center.
The goal is to create a free center, staffed by a full-time business and a full-time computer consultant, where women can come to use one of four computers for free, take beginning computer classes, receive help on any manner of business questions, and have the opportunity to network within the Cimislia business community. The Center plans to host 48 seminars a year (2 per month of both business and computer skills) and will be housed in space donated by the Regional Council.
Funding for this project will come from in-kind donations from AgroInform and other Cimislia based organizations. |
