About Us
History
Our story starts with one man's vision — and thousands of children's lives changed forever.
World-renowned opera singer Paata Burchuladze founded the Iavnana International Charitable Foundation in 2004 with a simple but powerful mission — to protect and care for orphaned and neglected children in Georgia.
From its very first day, Iavnana became a trusted refuge for vulnerable children. The foundation has organized numerous charity concerts and events, both in Georgia and internationally. World opera stars consistently accept Paata Burchuladze’s invitations to perform — and every penny raised goes directly to the children in our care.
In 2006, the United Nations awarded Paata Burchuladze the title of UN Goodwill Ambassador. In December 2010, he received the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador title.
