"Frankly speaking we did not expect that our initiative will become so popular and finds many supporters", - admitted members of the civic initiative group of Zugdidi Club of Women Voters.

"At this stage, church actively supports us, so that the issue of improvements of cemeteries was solved with civic participation and inclusion of local authorities. Since today it is planned to actively engage media, though we take note that we are already late - we had to do it before. Our activists are actively using social networks that everyone had the opportunity to read about the initiative and respond. We believe that many will join us".

According to the representatives of local self-government attending a panel dialogue, after the club had raised this issue, city officials decided to clean up drains in an urgent manner before fencing cemeteries. As to the initiative, at this stage the city’s architecture service is  involved in the process to specify the details.

The project is implemented with the financial support of the U.S. Embassy in Georgia
