Members of Women Initiative Groups of Kutaisi, Tskaltubo, Khoni, Zugdidi and Senaki municipalities, assistants, representative of the donor organization Medea Gugeshashvili and founder of the Fund “Sukhumi” Alla Gamakharia took part in the meeting within the framework of the "Network of Women and Young Women Peace Ambassadors".
The assistants presented information on the work for the reporting period and summed up the results.
In their speeches, the leaders spoke about the events held in the target municipalities (implementation of the initiatives of the II stage) within the framework of supporting "Civil Initiatives".
According to the leaders and members of the initiative groups, this project has increased the involvement of citizens even more. "Civic Initiatives" presented women in society from a different side. They become active and look for ways to solve problems themselves.
As the women noted, at first they themselves did not believe in the victory of their ideas and had little hope for their implementation, but now the problems have been solved - the team and the population are happy with the results achieved.
The project is implemented with the support of the UN Women organization

These materials will contribute to the creation of a safe living environment in the IDP community.

The work envisaged by the project has been completed in the IDP settlement of Khoni.
Two problems were solved: due to a faulty drainage system, rainwater accumulated near houses #10 and #15. Residents cut canals that changed the direction of the water. During heavy rains, water got into the basement and flooded, which created a threat to people's health. There were many reptiles and rodents. There was a risk of damage to the basement of the building.
Two initiatives were implemented with the human resources of the local community: the ground was excavated and filled near house #10. A raised fence was installed on the side of the pedestrian path near house #15. Thus, two problems were solved.

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.
