Current Major Project: National Autism Center of Georgia

In Georgia, there are still no governmental programs for adults with autism. To fill this gap, the Foundation is implementing an ambitious project: the construction of the National Autism Center of Georgia in the suburbs of Tbilisi. This complex will serve as a training and employment center for teenagers and adults with autism spectrum disorders and will include: A 24-hour monitoring center; Various social enterprises; A Day Center with training, sports, and recreation zones.

This center will be the first of its kind in Georgia and the region (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Russia, and Turkey). Currently, four cottages of the future Center have already been built, with the construction of the fifth one set to be completed by September 2024.
