Our name contains the word "Sukhumi" - this is the name of our beloved city, the capital of Abkhazia.

Majority of the organization's staff is from Abkhazia, who had to flee Abkhazia as a result of the armed conflict in 1992-1993 and now they live in different parts of Georgia with internally displaced person’s (IDP) status.

At that time, many problems associated with internal displacement could only be solved by uniting and supporting each other. This was the main reason and purpose of establishment of the Cultural-Humanitarian Fund "Sukhumi". Initially, it had a charity mission, but over time, the areas of ​​ the organization’s activities expanded, and it became one of the strongest civil society organizations in the country. For more than 25 years, the organization has been actively working towards elimination of violence against women, promotion of culture of nonviolence and women’s social and economic empowerment.  It is actively engaged in peacebuilding and strives to ensure women’s meaningful participation in this process.

The Tbilisi Office of the Charity Humanitarian Women Fund Sukhumi was established in 2019. Its activities include:

• collecting information on the needs and challenges of women living in various municipalities;
• processing the gathered information and incorporating it into the organization’s internal planning in order to support more targeted and needs-based actions for women in local communities;
• identifying and sharing reliable information on available support services and opportunities in Georgia to increase women’s access to these services;
• preparing content for the organization’s website and social media platforms to ensure that women receive accurate information on both emerging needs and accessible resources and services;
• sharing information about the organization’s work and raising awareness among professional and public audiences.
