PASHA Bank Supports Eco Project in Kondoli Village

On April 1, the Ambassador of the Tbilisi Rotary Club,  in partnership with PASHA Bank carried out an eco-project in the village of Kondoli (Telavi region, Kakheti). The project was also supported by World Vision and the Palitra Holding bookstore chain Biblus.

The project involved planting trees in the local school yard, building a playground and the formation of an eco-club. Local school children and World Vision beneficiaries were directly involved in the process. The outdoor activities were followed by the screening of a film about environmental issues and a seminar concerning ecology. The newly established eco-club ensure the garden is taken care of, as well as managing and collecting paper waste that will in turn be delivered to the Palitra Holding bookstore Biblus and exchanged for books.

“Supporting this project was of double importance for PASHA Bank, as it combines both directions that we focus on as a part of our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). It was lovely to see the schoolchildren so eagerly involved in the working process together with World Vision beneficiaries. PASHA Bank plans to initiate and support more projects of an eco-friendly nature,” - said Anano Korkia, Head of PR and Marketing Department at PASHA Bank.

“It is unfortunate that the ecological situation in Georgia is getting worse day by day. This may cause certain natural disasters and other environmental issues in future. Therefore our organization has decided to direct its resources towards helping to improve the ecological situation, starting in Kondoli. This project is multifunctional and will remain sustainable, considering the fact that here children learn about the importance of ecology and also plant trees to fully experience the process.” – said Bidzina Kumsiashvili, Charter President of Rotary Club Tbilisi Ambassador.
