There has been a war in Ukraine for five months. Unfortunately, the number of refugees is growing in our country.

In July, the Women Fund “Sukhumi” provided assistance to 15 families and individuals. As August is a holiday period, the support team is trying to distribute more assistance this month.

The meeting was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other departments. At the meeting, topical issues were raised that require a quick solution, for example medical assistance for children, childbirth, free vaccinations.
Our organization has communication with various departments. We are also constantly looking for new allies to solve the problems of Ukrainian refugees, thus the issue of free medical treatment of a 5-month-old child has been resolved.

97 teenagers participated in trainings held in Vani, Tsalenjikha, Tkibuli, Senaki and Kobuleti. Some meetings were held in a traditional, live form. The other part took place in the Internet space. Despite the form, all meetings were equally interesting, active and informative.
Early marriage and ways to resolve conflicts - the students discussed these issues with the trainers. They gave relevant examples, argued about the negative outcomes of early marriages, or the importance of early conflict resolution.
Meetings of such kind give teenagers the opportunity to think freely. They learn to express their opinions, listen actively, ask and answer questions...
The culture of group work, discussion and conversation - all these skills that young people have acquired or reinforced - are the merit of the training course.
