World Vision Georgia’s child centres, which provide care and support for street-connected  and vulnerable children, recently celebrated their 10th anniversary. To mark the occasion—and in recognition of the International Day for Street Children—a festive event was held at the Kutaisi centre, with active participation from the children themselves in planning and organising the celebration.

World Vision Georgia hosted the Ambassador of the European Union, Mr. Paweł Herczynski, meeting young SKYE Club members in Kakheti. With the support of the European Union, youth clubs operate in various regions of Georgia, providing young people with opportunities to develop skills and gain new knowledge that will help them achieve future success and career advancement.

Svitlana, a Ukrainian refugee who fled her home in Kyiv due to the war, now works with World Vision in Georgia to support fellow displaced families. As a psychologist and coordinator at the Happy Space Education and Development Centre, she helps children and parents overcome the trauma of displacement, offering psychosocial support, language classes, and cultural activities.  Happy Space has become a community hub where refugees can feel at home—a place where they can come to chat, share their joys and challenges, and connect with one another. To date, more than 6,000 individuals have benefited from its diverse services, offering them hope, support, and a sense of belonging.
