Georgia

In Georgia, our primary focus is developing the healthcare sector and increasing access to and quality of care, especially in rural areas. At the same time, we focus on developing social services, particularly for people with special needs. In cooperation with the local Ministry of Health, we bring about systemic changes in healthcare and social services. In poor rural areas, we are helping people to secure their livelihoods, especially by supporting small businesses. We also focus on environmental protection and effective waste management.

In Georgia, we work with the Ministry of Health on systemic changes. We work to improve access to free cancer screening and have helped fight the covid-19 pandemic.

Social care

We help the most vulnerable groups of people, such as children with autism spectrum disorders. We have trained doctors and behavioural therapists. In collaboration with the Georgia Department of Health, we have implemented systemic changes that further improve services for people with autism. We are also working to reform state-run care for people with special needs, moving from large institutions to individual care in small family-style homes.
