A woman from Rezina district opened her own business
Eugenia Dontu of Rezina produces stylized church vestments, according to the preferences of the Lord's servants. She has sewed priestly garments for three years. She managed to get her business done thanks to state support through the local Business Incubator. The woman now says she wants to expand her business, TV Moldova 1 reports.
As a professional technologist, Eugenia Dontu says that the idea of making church vestments appeared to her many years ago when she received the first order to sew a coat for the priest and realized she did not know how to sew them. So in 2001 she decided to go abroad to learn. She worked at a specialized factory in Russia, and in 2014 she returned home. With the money raised, she decided to start a business and did not fail.
"I thought our Moldovan priests most often bought their clothes abroad and I said why we did not open a workshop to let our priests have them at home," said Eugenia Dontu.
Eugenia Donutu also has two employees who enjoy having a job at home, but they are even more pleased to do what they like.
"I was gone abroad as I had a student. Since graduation I stayed home. I like everything in the interior of the church, the priests' vestments, if you do not have love for this, nothing will happen," says Ludmila Bors, engaged.
"Love of religion, of what is holy, made me to change my profession. I worked as a nurse. I sew garments, it brings me a soulful satisfaction. I'm next to my parents, my children, my husband, and that's what I enjoy," says Margareta Gun, engaged in the workshop.
More recently, church faces prefer to ornament their priestly shirt with traditional prints. The woman says that the priests are very careful about the details and admit that some clients are very pretentious.
Thanks to the interest-free loan obtained from the business incubator in the locality, as well as from the grants received from ODIMM, Eugenia Dontu was able to acquire the latest generation equipment. Moreover, during the first years of activity, she also benefited from a rent space at an attractive price at the Incubator.
"We will do our best to help them grow further, obviously if she needs more space, we will do our best to give it. Obviously they will create new jobs, they will increase their range of services," said Mihail Fricajel, director of Rezina Business Incubator.
A priestly shirt with traditional motives costs, on average, two thousand lei.
