The association “Mkurnali” (healer) was founded in 2000 in Tbilisi (Georgia), with the support of  UK DFID (Department for International Development).

From the very beginning there were created 3 workshops (jewellery workshop, enamel workshop, PC & org-technique repairing studio) for homeless children from shelters, and we used to help the children to acquire some specialization. After the learning process we have founded for them the Ltd where they work and have their own income. Some of these children have begun their own business. Until the present moment more than 200 teenagers have attended the workshops, 63 of them still do work at our and other companies. For example, the production made in jewellery and enamel workshops by our children participated in 11 exhibitions, organized in Georgia and abroad, a lot of jewels were sold and used as income for children.
