Festival of Life 2026

September is the International Month of Raising Awareness of the Fight Against Childhood Cancer. The Saint Andrew’s Foundation, for the thirteenth time, joins the international campaign “Golden September” with the “Festival of Life.”

Be my voice in September ! – is this year’s message of the festival.

On September 12 , the main event of the “Festival of Life” was held in Mtatsminda Park. Along with the children’s entertainment program, a charity exhibition-sale was held. At the end of the day, the golden symbol of the fight against childhood cancer was lit up over the city.

The Foundation has cared for more than 800 children and families with cancer over the past 15 years. At present, the Foundation continues to care for 44 children with cancer. The “Happy Home” Foundation’s guesthouse, which has 14 guest rooms, can accommodate at least 28 people. Our foster children, during the treatment and rehabilitation process, live with their family members in the well-equipped space of the Foundation. In addition to living selflessly in the “Happy Home,” the Foundation ensures the preparation of necessary documentation for treatment, timely organization of necessary research, and financing research and medicines if necessary.

Festival of Life 2025

September is International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Festivals are held around the world to support children.

Since 2014, the organizer of the Festival of Life in Georgia has been the Monk Andrew Charitable Foundation.
Within the framework of the festival, we are trying to raise awareness, bring the pain of children suffering from malignant tumors to every member of society, and help as many people as possible realize that these children, adolescents, and their family members need special attention. At the same time, our main goal is to leave all the negative background behind and show people how important their support is in our everyday lives.

This time, within the framework of the “Festival of Life”, “Happy Starts” were held at the Tbilisi Sports Palace, organized by the Ministry of Sports of Georgia, the Georgian National Federation of Happy Starts, and the Saint Andrew Foundation.
We would like to thank the Ministry of Sports, Ms. Inga Topuria, as well as the companies participating in the event: “Nikora Supermarket Chain”, “Aversi”, construction company “Urban X”, private school “Iveria” and “Iashvili Children’s Central Hospital”.

The event aimed to promote charity, increase employee motivation, and promote a healthy lifestyle. Representatives of various companies competed in teams with their children.
