At their second meeting, members of the Women's Club of Fund "Sukhumi" in the village of Bia boldly talk about plans for the future. It turned out that some of the members have work experience in advocacy:

"I’ve graduated from the school in Mendzhi. There was a very active youth group - we responded to numerous problematic issues".

"I cooperated with the Women's Club of Khobi. Good memories link me with that period. I was on the pages of the journal "Women's Voice" for several times.

"We went through a difficult time. We would not be saved by one, if not the unity and support of each other."

"I'm good at communication. It is not difficult for me to find a common and made anyone interested".

The workshop on Practical advocacy was interesting for everyone.

There were revealed many urgent problems: environmental pollution, lack of bins for rubbish, the problem of water in the village, installation of electricity meters...

There were also identified priority issues: organization of free computer courses in the village. Members of the Club planned a strategy  of advocacy for that issue. They stressed that in the first group will study middle-aged women and hope that young people will carefully treat their decision.

They also shared their desire to go to the sea, in Anaklia. They are very busy, but it worths to find time...

The project is implemented with the support

of the organization NED – National Endowment for Democracy (USA)
