Success Stories

When your financial needs are overwhelming, a passion might take you out of the loop. At least this was the case Pohilenco Navyan ambitious young woman with completed higher education and knowledge of 6 foreign languages. Her choice of art, design and knitting helped her launch a business in 2012 — it was a social project, where people with health problems worked, making ornamental elements.

She had to learn the art of persuasion along the way, but also how to manage stress, get rid of fear of failure, and focus on her personal development and that of her team. All led to the foundation of the POMARIN KIDSit is not precisely an activity that generates the income that the effort deserves. The idea, however, deserved to be realised, now the praise of the buyers compensates for all the hardships they have experienced. On PoMarin Kids we work with love for any product, and dedication fills the financial gap.

Too little, that is why it continued with bank loans. Sometimes he wanted to leave everything behind, but the responsibility for employees motivated him not to give up. Business growth has continued, however, thanks to the entrepreneurial courses organised by the European project Business Academy for Women (Baw). Information obtained from professional mentors BAW they helped her to avoid mistakes caused by ignorance and learn to be as wisely as possible in the management of financial resources.

Children’s huts, but also furniture, are now made here.

A showroom was also opened, high-performance machinery and modern furniture were purchased.

They can order embroidered pieces with personalised text (name, date of birth of the child). Promotion is usually done online.

Looking back, it would change things – it would not have started the business during maternity, it would have enjoyed these years with the children. It is difficult to keep a well-organised and systematised business and to give time to the family and especially to children when parents are over-occupied. The conditions in the country and the system do not work in such a way that they can combine them.

She is very lucky that her husband supports her all and helps her. Her girl Delia-Iustina and Zara-Cristiana, as well as her readings and tricotate, make her create more and inexhaustively inspired.

PoMarin Kids is exported to Romania, but Marina Pohilenco wants the brand to become widely known in as many countries as possible. And it has a reason to do so, and especially what it does!
