Your financial gift is the most important single action you can take to help the vulnerable children and elderly in Georgia. U.S. dollars have great purchasing power in Georgia. This fact, when combined with AFG’s hands-on-project monitoring of our Georgian partners, means that your gift is multiplied many times over. |

AFG: Projects: Children: Disabled
|
| During Soviet times, Georgian parents of mentally and physically disabled children felt pressure to hide their children from society either by placing them in terrible institutions or keeping them at home. They were believed to be uneducable. AFG is helping our Georgian partners to provide these children with education and social skills, so that they can participate fully in the community. This groundbreaking effort changes the perceptions of the parents, the children and the community about the children’s full potential. |
