“TEMI CHARITABLE UNION” is situated in GREMI 170 km from capital of Georgia Tbilisi in Kvareli District of KAKHETI. This is one of the most beautiful parts of Georgia. The region is famous for its architectural monuments (about 5000 monuments). The most significant one is the Lagodekhi National Park – the natural reserve in Georgia opened in 1912 (it occupies 17 818 h of land of which 12 146 h is covered with woods). UNESCO has listed Lagodekhi National Park among the monuments of worldwide importance.

TEMI was first started as a charity in 1989 to help the socially disadvantaged (orphans; half orphans; the physically and mentally disabled; the poor; the homeless; the isolated and lonely; single mothers; IDP-s refuges; the unemployed; disenfranchised and marginalized youth; the elderly and others). There are 65 persons living in TEMI (the youngest being one year old and the oldest 75 years old). TEMI community was founded in 1991 and over the years the family grew to more than 100 people of different ages and backgrounds who were living and working together. TEMI welcomes residents of all ages, capacities, nationalities and seeks to provide a warm and supportive environment for children and adults with physical and mental disabilities as well as orphan minors. TEMI encourages learning for all its residents and tries to incorporate education in all facets of daily life. The plot of 22 ha of land (inc. 7 ha for wine yard) that accompanies the home is used to grow vineyard and garden, bake bread, work in a carpentry workshop etc., which promotes self sufficiency and independence and teamwork. There are still a lot of things to be done in the Community.

TEMI vision is a sustainable Community where people live together safely, with dignity and respect for each other, other human beings and the environment, committed to provide best quality health and social care to its members and to enable them to develop their full potential as individuals and as a group.
