"Unity Treasury" in Poti

This is a mutual assistance group from Poti called "Unity Treasury." Thanks to the group's active and consistent work, noticeable changes have happened in the IDP settlement:

- The cosmetic and hygienic condition of the entrances has improved.

- The problem of water accumulation in the basements, which posed a real threat to the foundations, has been resolved. As part of a civic initiative, the group purchased a water pump.

- Signs have been installed at street entrances, making it easier to find Gagra and Abkhazia streets.

- Benches have been installed in common areas.

- A meeting area has been created, providing additional opportunities for communication.

The village residents' sense of satisfaction and gratitude gradually increased. During the project evaluation, participants highlighted both their personal development and the positive transformation of the village. The work motivated even more women to participate and became an important platform for unity, activity, and the development of new skills.

The mutual assistance group participants openly speak about their way within the project and hope to continue support in the future, as the IDP community needs more women to become active and more people to have the opportunity to develop civic responsibility.

The project is implemented by a coalition of non-governmental organizations: the Association of IDP Women "Consent," the Women's Information Center, and Charity Humanitarian Women Fund “Sukhumi”.
