Campaign content

Considering its multifaceted tourism potential and resources, Racha can easily become one of Georgia's most attractive regions. Here, diverse nature, mountain air, coniferous and deciduous mixed forests, mineral waters, cultural monuments, and other resources create unique conditions for the development of various types of tourism.     However, despite the existing resources and potential, Racha is currently the fastest-depopulating region in Georgia.   Access to cultural and social resources and non-formal education opportunities in remote cities and villages is essential for dispelling the feeling of isolation and exclusion and enabling self-development and self-realization.     The social enterprise "Rashovda" aims to create a multifunctional cultural-touristic and educational social space in Upper Racha. Here, on the one hand, opportunities for non-formal education will be created for the local population and young people; on the other hand, it will help to improve the well-being of the community of Racha through the development of the region's priority direction - tourism and its potential.     While visiting Racha, you will find an authentic and cozy social café immersed in nature, surrounded by mountains. Here, you will be able to communicate and socialize with locals, exchange ideas and inspiration, and enjoy events, exhibitions or festivals. Here, you will find the region's tourist services and agricultural products gathered in one space. The income from the social enterprise will be reinvested for social purposes.   Most importantly, Rashovda will be open to local community gatherings, and new ideas and projects will be created here.    We want ours, our friends', neighbors' and any locals' lives in Racha to be exciting and full of opportunities, where we have common interests and the opportunity to share different opinions, where we gather knowledge, experience and motivation to take care of solving the challenges around us and improve our daily life! With your support, we will be able to implement the idea of "Rashovda"!
