A new community centre is about to change the lives of people living in a remote village in eastern Georgia.
Georgia’s Minister of Justice Thea Tsulukiani opened a new library and community centre in Nukriani village, eastern Georgia today.
The new facility will give residents the opportunity to access a variety of public and private sector services, such as banking and mobile operators. The space was also a place where locals could complete official documentation, as it was a public site connected to the Ministry of Justice.

However many are praising the main advantage of the new community centre for its free internet access – a useful tool for people who cannot afford internet.
The same type of facility has already opened in a number of Georgian villages.
