Lithuanian Ambassador participated in the opening of a beauty salon "D Salon" in the Lori region
On 14 April, Ambassador Inga Stanytė-Toločkienė participated in the opening of a new beauty salon "D Salon" in the Debet settlement in the Lori region of Armenia.
The event served as the culmination of the Lithuanian development cooperation project “Empowered Women as Agents for Change and Rural Development” implemented in 2021. Within the framework of the project, 24 women have been trained in hairdressing and nail care, some of them belonging to families who left Nagorno Karabakh. During the training, the 8 most talented women were selected for training in the basics of business. The three winners of the project will lead the new beauty salon.
Such initiatives aim to contribute to the economic development of Armenia's regions and rural areas by ensuring gender equality and the inclusion of women.
Children of Armenia Fund (COAF) implemented the project and assured instalation as well as organized the opening of the beauty salon.
