Bunatate-Textile Manufacturer

BUNATATE
This little company is one of our NGO Partners. They manufacture a number of clothing (winter coats, police vests, raincoats, railroad winter suits, etc) for the military, local police as well as life jackets for Italy. They also make our wheel chair seat cushions. This organization is part of the Moldova Society of the Disabled. This is a unique company since many of the women and men who work here or work in their homes are disabled. They occupy an old soviet era building with only selected rooms heated. Some of this building cannot be used during the winter because the rooms are too cold.
Liubovi Denusenco is the director of Bunatate. She is a Russian woman who is disabled herself. You can see her picture in the slide show. Don't be fooled. She is tough as nails and she works extremely hard to keep all of her folks employed. Money and jobs are scarce hear. Moldova is the poorest country in Europe and these disabled people struggle to survive everyday. We (LDS Charities) use this company as often as we can. By the way, they make beautiful quilts.
