Georgia is a target destination country for Ukrainian refugees due to the proximity to Ukraine, lack of a language barrier (Russian is a common spoken language in both countries), cultural similarities, and other reasons. Ukrainian refugees are in need of support to cover their basic needs, including medicine and hygiene items as well as access to healthcare services. They also need to improve their economic situation. Particularly, female-headed households, women and children need support, as they constitute a majority of the refugee population.
