Khoni Women's Network implements two civil initiatives. The first initiative will solve the problem of 40 families living in house No. 10 of the IDP settlement, related to flooding of basements during rain.

The implementation of the second initiative will solve the problem of heavy rainfall for 40 families living in house No. 15.

It is difficult for residents of both houses to get out of the entrances during rain - the entrances are flooded, water flows into the basements.

The members of the women's network consulted with specialists. Their recommendation is to make a barrier for water from the side of the pedestrian path.

The members of the women's network have already purchased the necessary materials and equipment, and are now planning specific work.
