Established in 1990, the time of deepest social-economic and cultural crisis in Georgia, The International Humanitarian Union Catharsis is a complex centre providing several types of emergency, social and senior care services for socially vulnerable and unprotected population; in the light of our almost three-decade long experience, these services are crucial in most of the cases and areas. Services provided at Catharsis are available as a matter of courtesy free of charge for any necessitous persons.
Increasing rise in life expectancy and associated growing number of elderly citizens pose new challenges to the society. In this regard, remaining and being healthy in old ages is one of the most important topics. We understand that human’s desire for independence, dignity and choice does not diminish as we age, so, it is very important for us that our seniors continue having a voice in their daily life. Seniors want to be healthy, they want to be happy, and they want to share their experiences and continue to make new memories. Our communities seek to support all of these desires by offering a wonderful array of services in a warm, family-like setting. We measure our success by our seniors’ satisfaction. When they are happy, we are happy too. We always encourage interested residents and families to experience our community first-hand. We are confident when you meet the staff and residents you will truly feel like you have found a home. We support all ideas and projects to creating a living environment suitable to senior citizens. |
Catharsis' services and activities include, but are not limited, to the following:

OUR PROGRAMS & ACTIVITIES |
OUR PROJECTS |
NOSTALGIA THEATRE Nostalgia Theatre is our small 60-seat theatre venue as well as a troupe of senior artists performing repertory of 18 plays and over 40 comic sketches staged at Catharsis since 1993. BEAUTY SALON Beauty Salon is serving all; everyone who wishes or needs a beauty salon service can get it. |
CAFE JULIE Cafe Julie named after the group's former designer Julie Sukhishvili is a nice place for having a meeting, conversation, birthday party, dating etc. MEDICATION Medical Services & Pharmacy are provided for all. More than thousand persons are registered. |
SHELTER Shelter functions for ladies; due to our economic distress, it is capable of serving 12 ladies only; we don't have a staff unit of a caregiver. CANTEEN Canteen is serving 310 persons daily as well as catering 23 bed-patients with one-month dry products’ ration provided by our collaborators, beneficiaries, volunteers and patients’ neighbors. |
50 PLUS Maintaining a healthy lifestyle becomes more important than ever after 50. As we age, our body loses its ability to bounce back from unhealthy lifestyles the way it could in younger days, things like our immune system, metabolism, brain and hormones do not work quite as well as they used to. Because of this, many people over 50 are more vulnerable to illness, injury, cognitive decline, obesity and other problems; bad living habits at this age can dramatically lower one’s quality of life even when serious problems do not develop. First digital publication dedicated to people over 50, their families and caregivers in the Republic of Georgia. |
THEATRE RENOVATION Being the only institution of its kind in the country, the Nostalgia Senior Theatre plays key role in developing the field in the Republic of Georgia. Since its establishment in 1993, the venue has never had a day-off; no weekends were considered at all; so we could not afford to manage even a very basic cosmetic renovation all these years. So, it is obvious that the venue requires a full rehabilitation after its 2-decade+ long theatrical season. This 6-month long project aims to completely restore and renovate our theatre’s facility. Project’s Budget of 14466 USD combines the costs of Stage Curtain, Track and Stage lighting systems, Auditorium chairs, Stage assembly materials, Stained glass windows, Chandeliers and promo materials. |
HOSPICE This project aims arranging the mansard (French style roof) of Catharsis' 3-storey building and outfitting it for a classical type hospice facility of international standards. Considered to be the model for quality, compassionate care for individuals facing a life-limiting illness or injury, hospice care involves a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, psychological and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient's as well as patient’s family and loved ones’ needs and wishes; these services are provided inpatient at the centre of hospice and palliative care as well as delivered at home. On the base of social workers and volunteers, there are also some other social-economic services provided at the hospices. |
