Charity Humanitarian Centre "Abkhazeti" (CHCA) is the premiere Georgian non-governmental organization focused on empowering Georgia's internally displaced and other vulnerable populations.

Along with its founders, the vast majority of the organization's employees are themselves IDPs.
An apolitical organization, CHCA's general goals are to increase the role of individuals and communities in building civil society and strengthening democracy, as well as to improve the social and economic conditions of internally displaced and other vulnerable populations through building capacity and increasing self-reliance. The activities of the organization are carried out transparently and are based on principles of professionalism, equality, long-term partnership and sustainable development... more
Ongoing Programs
Income Generation and Livelihoods
The main goal of the Income Generation & Livelihoods Program is to increase participatory development opportunities for displaced persons and to assist the community in reaching the self-reliance. Income Generation Program is a great chance for most vulnerable representatives of IDP communities to improve their socio-ecumenical condition for better lives in the future.
Children & Youth Protection and Development
The program aims to support internally displaced and local vulnerable youth to develop their leadership potential, personal and professional skills to become socially active and self-reliant citizens. The program serves to strengthen the social security net through empowerment of youth, develop vibrant civil society and accumulate social capital in the community.
Advocacy and Protection of Internally Displaced Communities
This program is related to protection of both "new" and "old" IDPs accommodated in the private sector in villages in the Gori and Kareli regions. CHCA observes general situation and carries out needs assessment of IDPs in private accommodation.
Community Development
Community Development Program focuses on the regions of Kvemo Kartli (Gardabani) and Imereti (Tskaltubo). The project aims to encourage integration among IDPs and local populations, promote socio-economic development and public dialogue, and finally to contribute to the development of local governmental and community capacities.
