The mentoring project “Believe in yourself” began with one student of IP Melikhova Maria Vladimirovna.  Together with her, in one year we went from opening our own business in the field of furniture production, including furniture for people with disabilities, receiving state support to winning the all-Russian competition “The best young entrepreneur of 2016 in the field of social projects”.

In 2017, there were already 5 students in the project. Every year, the “Believe in Yourself” project expanded its boundaries and in 2022 grew into an entire public organization, in which mutual assistance and support of several mentors reign. Together we are implementing a large number of social projects. Thanks to this, the number of beneficiaries in 2023 amounted to 3,500 people – these are participants in two grants and 26 events of the organization “WOMEN LEADERS”!
