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.
