I was sewing custom orders at home because I am a costume designer at a local theater. I have experience. I simply suggested it to my daughter because I wanted to ensure a more stable financial future for her. She takes care of the financial part, and I take care of the practical one. And so, we slowly began to grow,&#8221; adds Victoria Pirogova, Iulia&#8217;s mother.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Business HUB in Tiraspol \u2013 the &#8220;school&#8221; for future entrepreneurs&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To set the business in motion, Iulia first started following the activities of the Business HUB in Tiraspol, the first center in the region for entrepreneurship support and development, created in 2022 with the support of the European Union&#8217;s Confidence Building Measures Programme, implemented by UNDP. By participating in HUB\u2019s events, Iulia managed to integrate into the community of future entrepreneurs and gained not only courage but also the skills to launch her business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;After some analysis, we found that our doctors spend half their lives at work. They need comfortable, high-quality clothing that ensures their well-being and comfort. That&#8217;s how we started working from home. We only had two sewing machines and we took on any order we received. Now we can already be proud of what we have achieved,&#8221; says Iulia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From two sewing machines to a fully equipped workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, with financial support of approximately \u20ac17,000 from the European Union, Iulia expanded her business, transitioning from a makeshift workspace at home to a modern workshop equipped with high-performance machinery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This investment allowed her to create jobs and carve out a niche in the market. Now, her workshop produces work uniforms for beauty professionals, food service staff, and healthcare workers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"138107\" src=\"https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-7_54838302128_o-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-138107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-7_54838302128_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-7_54838302128_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-7_54838302128_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-7_54838302128_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-7_54838302128_o-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"138110\" src=\"https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-4_54837190622_o-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-138110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-4_54837190622_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-4_54837190622_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-4_54837190622_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-4_54837190622_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-4_54837190622_o-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"138113\" src=\"https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-8_54838056586_o-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-138113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-8_54838056586_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-8_54838056586_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-8_54838056586_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-8_54838056586_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025_09_24-undp-iulia-cernobrivcenko-8_54838056586_o-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We received equipment such as linear sewing machines and overlock machines, without which our work would be impossible. They enable us to produce high-quality medical and protective equipment thanks to the special seams they create. The equipment includes a zigzag sewing machine, a piping sewing machine, a professional embroidery machine, along with a steam generator and an ironing table,&#8221; explains Iulia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galina Bezprozvannaia joined Iulia&#8217;s team a year ago, having worked for a large company in the textile industry: &#8220;The equipment is good.

She is currently preparing a specialized catalog that will showcase the products created in the workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, Iulia is planning new investments in equipment that will automate processes and optimize the workshop&#8217;s operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporting young entrepreneurs and the business environment is part of a broader effort by the European Union and UNDP to build trust and promote economic development on both sides of the Nistru River.
