A business made with passion, which also promotes healthy eating, is beginning to pay off. Valentina Velicu (20 years old) is among the first NEET youth to receive support to open a business under the NEETs in Entrepreneurship project, funded by the EAA and NorwayGrants Fund for Youth Employment in the autumn of 2020.
I Eat Healthy, I Eat With Taste (Mănânc Sănătos Mănânc cu Gust S.R.L.) is the company dedicated to growing and selling of strawberries and raspberries opened by Valentina in Brădești, Vaslui County in Romania. Priory to this an unemployed young woman, Valentina received advice and educational resources within the NEETs in Entrepreneurship project. Her determination and perseverance have helped her to be receptive to the support measures provided in the project. Moreover, she also became one of the beneficiaries of the financial support provided in the project through the Fund for Youth Employment.
Up to this point, the grant has been used to set up the company, build a solarium with irrigation system and to purchase all the equipment needed to carry out the activity.
Valentina is now preparing to obtain the first harvest, in time to offer the fruit on the market, but also to expand her plantation of strawberries and raspberries, when the temperature will be suitable.
