‘I have heard about the Nenskra project and I am totally against it.’

Nani is sitting in the kitchen, she seems sad.

Like most Svans, Sasha Chkhetiani (Nani) is a hospitable and warm person. She works in the garden and at home raising her children. Her husband is a sport teacher at Chuberi’s school and for the future they do not want the Nenskra Dam to be built.

“Without this river, living here will get impossible. Life will become difficult and we will have to move from here.”

Sasha is a housewife from Chuberi.

Svaneti is threatened by massive hydropower developments

We are trying to prevent that and preserve the regions unique way of life.
