At
Varketili market there are a lot of people. Some buy, some sell… This elderly
woman, whom almost all know, Tamar Gujejiani, doesn’t work here nor came she
here to buy anything… Tamar lives here!

Yes, she
lives at the market, in the former warehouse. Can you imagine how a warehouse
looks like? It has cold concrete walls and nothing else… This building is not
suitable for living, the product were stored here.

How did
Mrs. Tamar get into this situation? It’s a very long story, full of pain and
cruelty.

She was
born in Sukhumi, she studied and worked there. During Georgian-Abkhazian war
she was not going to leave her native land, but when in 1993, the separatist
fighters who invaded into the city after Sukhumi Fall organized unprecedented
massacre of the remaining population, Mr. Tamari was to leave Abkhazia. The
only thing that she took with her at the greatest risk was the old photo album.
There was her life: youth, happiness, relatives, Georgia – united, still
united…  Now these photos are the most
precious she’s got. Tamar looks through the album every day and lives with the
memories.

After the
war when she lost all hope to return to Abkhazia, Tamari came to Tbilisi. In
order to keep herself she started to work as a saleswoman at a “Svans’ market”
in Varketili. 5 years ago her brother died of a stroke and Tamar was evicted
from the flat…

Tamar was
sheltered at Market, and gave her a building of one of the warehouses for
living. Formerly she lived for free, now she has to pay 50 GEL per month. In
this warehouse there are no living conditions, there is neither water supply,
nor a toilet, there are only cold concrete walls around her… Tamar washes herself
in another room; she brings water from the toilet of the market.

Tamar is a
very religious person, she prays all day. She prays for unification and
strengthening of Georgia, that no one becomes refugee in their own country,
that everyone has a warm house. She also prays for health of all kind people.
She calls the employees of our Fund, who supply Tamar with food products and
medications, angels sent from God.

Tamar
Gujejiani is one of 500 people that our Fund takes care of. Often our help,
food products and medications are very important for these people’s survival.
