Nino Gzireishvili lives in the small, beautiful village of Busheti, in Telavi Municipality, with her husband, mother-in-law, and three young children. For years, the family faced economic hardship, compounded by social isolation. But one day, almost unexpectedly, things began to change for the better. The family was offered the opportunity to participate in the "ERTAD" project. Today, the family is much stronger.The children have access to educational services and attend kindergarten. The grandmother receives necessary medical care. The family’s income has also  increased as they now regularly make churchkhela and sell it in three fruit and vegetable shops in Tbilisi.

World Vision Georgia has been cooperating for years with the Youth House, which supports young people aged 18–23 who have left state care. At the Youth House, they live, learn various professions and trades, and acquire essential life skills needed for independent living.
