Our Charity Project: American Friends of Georgia

American Friends of Georgia, in collaboration with Charte.ge and under the "Access to Education" program, has made significant strides in supporting students in need. With generous financial backing from IWA (14,500 GEL), the initiative successfully provided 10 computers with one year of internet access to students, ensuring they have the essential tools for their education.

The distribution focused on underserved and conflict-affected regions, such as Racha, Gali, Samtskhe, and Adjara, where access to educational resources is often limited.

Moreover, American Friends of Georgia committed to doubling the impact by matching the initial funds, enabling the purchase of an additional 10 computers. This amplified the program's reach, offering vital support to students in these regions.

Providing computers and internet access is about more than education—it’s about offering hope, resilience, and opportunities for a better future amid challenging circumstances. It represents an investment in peace, stability, and the long-term development of these communities.

President's End-of-Year Message

Dear IWAG Friends and Supporters,

As we look back on a momentous 2024, we are filled with gratitude and strength of an eye-opening year. We reflect on our achievements and our path ahead. This will bring us renewed hope to find new ways to accomplish our objectives as we bring everyone together to reach our many goals.

On behalf of our Board and Executive, we would like to thank all our Patrons & Supporters and everyone who has given us their time, ideas, encouragement, and more.
We could not have done it without you. Your contributions are of vital importance to IWAG. They not only help define the external perception we emanate. They also enable us to solidify our commitment to everyone we collaborate with and every person and group we support.

Our thanks also go to every member of our Board, our Executive, our CPC, and our Group Heads, all of whom work so tirelessly to continue our mission of connecting Georgians and international members, and enabling them to meet and get to know one another and this marvellous country. At the same time, through our CPC work and fundraising activities, we identify and continue to donate to all those in need.

Most of all, heartfelt thanks go to all our members. You are the core of our association. Thank you for being there, for participating and filling us with your warmth and vibrance.

We wish everyone joyous and peaceful holidays. May the New Year bring us renewed inspiration, much success and a myriad of avenues to celebrate our friendship, togetherness and work.
