720 IDP families live in 4 new houses on 53 Shervashidze Street, Kutaisi (2 more buildings will be added in the near future).
Women talk about a dangerous open channel. The channel is dangerous for the population. Reptiles often appear. There was a case when a ball fell into a channel and it caused dangerous situation for the children. There are no protective dams round the channel, so it is easy to fall into it. During strong winds, the channel fills with garbage, and during heavy rains, water flows out of the channel.
Women are also concerned about speeding vehicles, which is why they are calling for a mandatory stop line at crossings.
Members of the initiative group, trained in advocacy, share their experiences with the people living there and encourage everyone to increase their civic responsibility.

Nino Gorgodze is one of those young people who continue active meetings in their communities about forms of civic engagement and its necessity. The problem of internally displaced persons living on Nikea Street No. 21 is the damp walls of the building, which are more damaged during heavy rains and pose a threat to the health of people and the building itself. In order to solve the identified problem, the group members prepare a letter and meetings with the relevant departments are planned. The meetings are coordinated by an active member of the initiative group.
