The fundraising continues within the framework of the presidential initiative “Support a dream” for scholarships for young people living in foster homes and family-type centres who have been accepted at higher educational establishments. Financial assistance is also provided for 12th graders with top grades. Almost half of the 80 secondary school graduates taking part in the initiative this year will continue their education at universities or colleges.

Around 90,000 Leva (EUR 46,000) has so far been raised.
