About us

Who we are:

We are a group of women- internally displaced people (IDPs) who come together to establish a women’s non-governmental organisation in Kutaisi, Western Georgia in October, 1997. Our group was created after the Georgian population had to flee Abkhazia as a result of the armed conflict in 1992-1993. Having become IDPs we encountered a wide range of problems, which could only be solved by uniting and supporting each other. Even though there were other women’s organisations in Kutaisi, we realized that as women- IDPs we had deferent needs and our particular situation was more understandable to women from Abkhazia.
