Ekaterina Rybakova: "In 2015, the entrepreneur from Tomsk heavily indebted with a child in her hands decided to move to the taiga to a family village. With the help of her parents Elena launched the production of wooden toys from the scratch. The business was not profitable for 2 years, Elena got depressed. In 2017, she got to know about the PRO Women community and decided that she would get out if she helped others. She became the leader of the group and in four months, thanks to the support of like-minded people and networking, the revenue has grown 15 times. Nowadays the products of the family factory from Siberia are sold all over the world!"
