Project Title :
Medical examination and treatment of street children in Tbilisi
Duration of the project: 6 months
Number of children to be examined during the project: 50-60
Total requirement: $3,940.00
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
As a result of recent developments the number of street children and
children working in the streets has dramatically increased in Tbilisi.
Their working conditions are dangerous and unhealthy. These children are
out all day and have a difficult time finding food. Most of them spend
the night in the street, railway stations, abandoned basements, half
destroyed houses and lavatories. Under such conditions it is impossible
to observe even elementary hygiene. Obviously their health requires
immediate attention and improvement. Medical examinations, disease
prevention and special treatment should be carried out for each of these
children.
DESCRIPTION AND OUTPUTS OF THE PROJECT:
This project will include the identification and registration of the
children, provision of medical documentation, and a comprehensive health
exam. The children will also receive periodic medical assessments,
dental care, physical training, and minor surgical operations.
Pediatricians, neuro-pathologists, surgeons, TB doctors, dentists and
other specialists will be involved in the project if necessary. These
measures will enable us to save a considerable part of the Georgian
genetic fund and provide normal standards of living for our children.
We would be happy to provide a detailed budget upon request.
