IWA made a donation in honour of
Anush Klimczyk, our long-standing and dear
member who passed away in August last year.
Anush was an IWA member for 15 years and
during that time she served on different
committees. Her last post was with the Charity
Project Committee. Anush helped needy people
in Georgia not only through the CPC projects
but she contributed a lot personally. .
Since Anush was Armenian, we decided to offer
the amount of 7,000 Gel to Armenian refugees
from Nagorno Karabakh, who moved to Spitak
and Armavir in North and West Armenia. This
amount was raised at the Winter Fair 2023
through the IWA table and Tombola.
In coordination with the Ambassador of the
Republic of Armenia to Georgia, H.E. Mr. Ashot
Smbatyan, four specially designed heating
ovens could be bought for families who have
moved permanently to Spitak. In addition, 6
families that now live in Armavir could be
supported financially to be able to cope with
daily needs such as clothing and heating. Most
of these families plan to stay in the area and,
with the help of NGOs, develop income
generating activities such as Baklava baking
and beekeeping.
