RICDOG volunteers have launched a new crowdfunding campaign: “Start the Change with Yourself!”

Through the Orbeliani Meti platform, a new initiative by RICDOG’s volunteers and team members — “Give the Gift of Education to Children in Kutaisi!” — is seeking support. If the target amount is raised through crowdfunding, the idea will receive additional resources co-financed by the European Union (EU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Campaign Description (Content): 

At the initiative of young volunteers and in collaboration with the RICDOG team, an innovative program is being launched in Kutaisi for socially vulnerable children. The program is based on the “ART is Fun+” methodology and aims to support the creative, academic, and personal development of 60 children. The 6-week program includes weekly sessions held at the newly established social enterprise space in Kutaisi. Children will have access to a safe and supportive environment where energetic and motivated volunteer youth workers will work with them throughout the process.

• The program: • Strengthens children’s key competencies — creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression.
• • Improves English language proficiency and communication skills.
• • Increases motivation and promotes children’s engagement in social life.

Volunteers will be actively involved both in planning the program and in the weekly sessions, creating an inspiring environment where children learn, grow, and feel motivated. The implementation of the program brings additional benefits: the social enterprise space will be improved, the existing program will be strengthened, and in the future, it will be possible to support even more socially vulnerable children and their families with fewer resources. This initiative establishes a sustainable model that contributes to the development of local education and social inclusion. All of this is a response to a specific need: socially vulnerable children living in Kutaisi do not have access to continuous educational opportunities. They lack access to important resources such as educational games, language courses, and non-formal learning programs — the very tools essential for personal development and planning for a better future. Become a supporter of this idea and give the gift of education to children in Kutaisi! With your support, we can offer these children a brighter future. We believe that with the involvement of each of you, this idea will become a reality.

Become a supporter of our idea and give the gift of education to children in Kutaisi!
