In cooperation with the Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia and under the financial support of the European Union and UNICEF, World Vision Georgia opened three daycare and Crisis Intervention Centers (24-hour shelter) for homeless children (2 centers in Tbilisi and 1 in Kutaisi). Three mobile groups search children in the streets in Tbilisi and Kutaisi and provide them with direct assistance and appropriate services.
Since 2014, mobile groups provided various services to over 600 beneficiaries:

Along with direct assistance, a multidisciplinary mobile group provid regular consultations to the beneficiaries and redirect them to various service providers such as daycare center and 24-hour shelter, medical and general education institutions.
