  • The Red Cross Society of Georgia
    The Red Cross Society of Georgia Founded: 1918 Members: 10,200 (2005) Volunteers: 1,050 (2005) Staff: 61 (2005) Expenditure: 208,887 GEL 146,708 CHF (January-July, 2005) 1. Foundation Mission In 2003, the Red Cross Society of Georgia adopted a new mission and vision, which convey the essence of the organisation’s existence, its values and aspirations to improve the lives of vulnerable people. The mission of the Red Cross Society of Georgia is ‘to assist vulnerable people in coping with the effects of emergencies and socio-economic crisis by mobilizing the power of humanity and ensuring appropriate means and services to protect human life and dignity’. Its vision is to become ‘a strong and well-functioning national society, responsive to and focused on the vulnerable, with efficient services in line with international standards and promoting creation of an environment that is free from poverty, violence and prejudice’. The focus and priorities of the national society’s work are detailed in the national society strategy paper for 2004-2005, which is now being revisited and adjusted based on the analysis of internal and external environment. The objective is to establish a relevant and pragmatic plan, which will guide the national society over the coming four years (2006-2009). Legal base The Red Cross Society of Georgia was formally recognized under the former Soviet structure and, after independence, by presidential decree in 1993. The Red Cross law was passed by the parliament in 1997. The same year, the national society became a member of the International Federation. The Georgian Red Cross statutes were revised to distinguish between governance and management functions and to ensure compliance with the national legislation and the Federation’s minimum requirements.
