Another rural Club of Fund "Sukhumi” has been created in the village Bia of Khobi Municipality. There are 20 women of different professions (most of them are unemployed and that was called the main problem) in the Club of Women-Voters.

Women approved an idea of the Club creation and decided to actively cooperate with other Clubs.

At the first meeting participants discussed living problems. They said that the most relevant was the problem of water supply: water supply system is out of order, drinking water is of poor quality. One part of the village (Sashonio) is not supplied with water and villagers use wells.

According to the attendees local government is aware of that problem since it was raised many times at the rural meetings, but nothing has been changed yet. At the Club meeting the issue was considered more categorically: full rehabilitation of water supply system and installation of meters.

The problem will be advocated by the Club of Women-Voters of the village Bia. A moderator of the Club is Manana Shulaia – a member of Khobi Sakrebulo. Members of the newly established club believe that they will be able to solve this problem through the cooperation of local government.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization NED – National Endowment for Democracy, USA.
