In Georgia a lot of old women live alone in very precarious conditions. They receive a pension that is equivalent to 30 euros per month. Their life has dramatically changed with the collapse of the Soviet Union, a time they all regret dearly. Some of them were head of a kholkoze, others doctors or nurses, university teachers or just simple workers. They all feel that before at least they had a dignity.

The Children in Crisis Project, located in the western Georgia cities of Kutaisi and Batumi, provide for the needs of children living on the street. This project focuses on the construction of two day-care centers that will offer counselor-led support groups and proper health care. The implementation of skills training and job placement services enable family members to better care for their children. More than 200 children and 100 vulnerable families will be served through this project. This posters were produced as part of World Vision campaign on Children and Poverty in Georgia.

..During the summer1999, over 245,000 Serbs and Roms fled to Serbia and Montenegro from or within Kosovo in fear of reprisals from the majority Albanian population, after NATO air strikes had forced the withdrawal of Yugoslav. In 2003, less than 2% of them had returned and a large number of these internally displaced persons (IDPs) were still living in camps in very difficult conditions..In addition, around 5,000 IDPs, mainly of Roma ethnicity, are living in unrecognized collective centres, makeshift huts, corrugated metal containers and other substandard shelters. .This work was meant to look at how the life of children and young adults is affected by the fact that they are IDPs. I asked myself more specifically what would be different for these children/young adults from the 'normal' people of their age as far as education, health, social life, family, 'love' life and leisure are concerned. These pictures were taken in 2003 in the camps of Kraljevo, Obrenovac, Rakovica and Smederevo.

Five minutes from the prestigious Sheikh Zayed Avenue, Satwa, the oldest and only characteristic district of Dubai, is due to be razed and replaced by a beautiful garden- city, a 350 billion dirham (1.4 billion euros) project. With its narrow streets and low houses, Satwa is the district to which converge, to find a home, most construction workers from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

In 1992, more than 10,000 people died during the war which opposed Abkhazia to Georgia. 250,000 Georgians left the region and found shelter in 'reception centres'. A 'Committee for Refugees and Accommodation' was created that very same year. It was responsible for granting benefits to the people who had been officially declared refugee or displaced person. But the main strategy of the Georgian authorities has since been to "create the conditions" of a return which implies the need to prevent these same displaced persons to settle definitively. Bagebi students' dormitories, in Tbilisi, which consist of two 14 storeys buildings are home to 700 refugee families from Abkhazia who lives in what was supposed to be temporary appartments, since 1994. Their living conditions have not changed since their arrival: same miserable housing, insufficient allowances and still living in the hope of a repeatedly promised return. Since last August, their frustrations are even higher due to the publicity and support given to the 'new' refugees, Saakashvili's refugees.

Tamuna is one of the many patients of Dr Tengiz at the Tuberculosis Children Hospital in Tbilisi, Georgia. Only come to the hospital the children of poor families as tuberculosis is still seen as a disease to be ashamed of. Dr Tengiz tries to make up for the lack of resources he has to run the hospital by dedicating all of his time trying to make the hospital a livable place. Tamuna's stay lasted 3 months. She went back home as she was missing her mother a lot but had to be hospitalized again few weeks later.
