Mission: The mission of international support for georgian youth is to break the cycle of generational poverty through education in the country of georgia. By focusing on education, we can help youth in georgia remain healthy, stay in school, learn job skills in high school, and then hopefully attend either vocational school or university. This way, students can obtain the knowledge and the skill sets to support their families. Self-sustaining families are the best way to address generational poverty.
Programs: Sponsor a child: provided nutritious food, warm shoes/clothing and needed medicines for over 300 impoverished children in three schools in the imereti region of the country of georgia. Provided university and vocational school scholarships to 24 graduates of the three schools that we serve. Served over 100 students in an after school program at the kutaisi youth house. Specific programs included computer, english, sewing, accounting, math, chemistry and hair styling.
