There is practically no
opportunity to find work for Chechens in the Pankisi
Valley. Two small enterprises, however, have been set-up
by two refugees that provide work for three to five
men:
1) a timber business,
2) a quarry and stone
cutting enterprise using local granite and marble.
The Chechen entrepreneurs have invested
approximately US $ 2000 each to buy second hand equipment.
If they could invest in more modern equipment they
could easily expand their enterprises and providing
work as there is no shortage of raw material available
in the Valley.
An other possible investment would be in animal husbandry.
Chechen families could be provided with cows and sheep
which they could exploit and breed, a skill with which
most Chechen women are familiar.
