Qui sommes-nous
TASO Foundation (TF) was transformed from Open Society - Georgia Foundation Women´s Program (1998-2006) and started operating as an independent national women´s fund since early 2007. TF, as part of women´s movement of Georgia and its supporter, is involved in the work aimed at the creation of a peaceful and just environment, an environment where each woman will be entitled for a free choice and self-realization and will exercise her rights and freedoms without hindrance.
Mission
Women´s empowerment for human rights, equality, social justice and peace in Georgia.
Vision
In order to impel the activism of women isolated from public domain, it is necessary to merge works aiming at overcoming poverty with programs for the empowerment of women for social activism. Steady and continuous work for the involvement of population in democracy development has to be based on cooperation between experienced NGOs/experts and community based women.
