Georgia is still trying to find its place in the international arena since the dissipation of the Soviet Union more than twenty years ago.

Mercy Corps is fighting poverty and helping create stable communities by providing technical assistance to small-scale farmers, as well as disaster prevention and preparedness training in poor rural areas.
