A children's speech therapist from Kazan equipped a correctional office thanks to the national project
A social entrepreneur from Kazan has purchased new equipment for the correctional zone in her office under the national project "Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship".
Last year, Lilia Rakhimova, a mother of three children, speech pathologist, neuropsychologist and social entrepreneur, opened her correctional office. It helps children to form correct speech and restore lost speech functions.
Lilia was among the social entrepreneurs who received grants under the national project "Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship". With a subsidy of 314 thousand rubles, the entrepreneur purchased a computer and specialized programs for correcting children's speech.
"For classes with children, special programs and equipment are needed to work in them. With this request, as a social entrepreneur, I was advised to contact the My Business Center. The specialists of the Center told about gratuitous grant support, helped to make a grant application, as well as to undergo training for social business. As a result, I received financial support, thanks to which I will make a correction zone in my office," the entrepreneur shared her story.
Lilia Rakhimova noted that she plans to scale the project, create new jobs, hire employees, as well as open offices in other districts, and in the future - her own Centers for working with children's speech.
"The training course made it clear that you can expand your business without attracting your own funds. With a working business and social idea, you can attract an investor," Lilia said.
Let us recall that according to the results of the selection of the competition commission in 2022, 119 young and social entrepreneurs of Tatarstan received support in the amount of 47 million rubles for the implementation and development of their business within the framework of the federal national SME project.
You can become a social entrepreneur and get support for the development of a startup in the Center "My Business" within the framework of the national project "Small and Medium-sized entrepreneurship".
