Social Impact Hub "Effendi Villa"

Our primary goal is to preserve and revitalize historic buildings, communities and places in the region of Adjara. We work with a variety of stakeholders in accomplishing this mission, including property owners, residents, neighborhoods, developers, cultural heritage organizations, educational institutions and public officials. We focus on historic preservation and sustainable community planning which includes working with tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Our mission is to empower people to recognize the significance of historic resources, to preserve them for future generations, and to integrate them into everyday life through redevelopment, lifelong learning, and community conversations. We offer a variety of programs including learn-by-doing workshops, lectures, heritage tours, community events, social meets ups, and volunteer opportunities from interested amateurs to working professionals.
