"Friendly for women’’ is the third component of the program that we launched in 2021. The purpose of this program is to support women in rural areas in opening and developing businesses in the field of agriculture and the processing of agricultural products. ODIMM confidently supports us in this program, and together with it we choose the beneficiaries. According to the regulations of the programs, the beneficiaries had to have their own contribution to the budget, of 10% or 30%, depending on the program. Sometimes, however, this out-of-pocket contribution is an almost insurmountable amount for many women. That's why we selected 10 women for whom Efes assumed the funding of the contribution on behalf of the beneficiaries, thus they receive 100% grant coverage. In 2021, the amount of our contribution was 345,000 lei.

10 women entrepreneurs beneficiaries. This is the number of women who will enjoy financial help and support for the development of their own businesses in the villages of Moldova. On February 3, the discussion between the representatives of the 2 organizations took place, where the 10 winners in the project were designated. We can't wait to reap the benefits of women's businesses and are glad that we could contribute substantially to their realization and support.
