Davit Kiknadze and Pellicano’s founding purpose
As Pellicano’s founder, Davit Kiknadze connects the Foundation’s origin with a commitment to human dignity, learning and humanitarian service. That purpose gives its educational and social work a clear direction.
Why the Foundation exists
The founding direction brings human dignity into practical educational, charitable and social opportunity. Pellicano’s identity begins with this purpose and with its own responsibilities as a Foundation. It can design, support or deliver work in its defined fields, with the Institutional Bridge available as an additional method where it helps people move between stages.
Founding vision and institutional form
Davit Kiknadze’s founding contribution gives continuity to a mission centred on people, learning, humanitarian responsibility and respectful cooperation. The Foundation carries that purpose through its governing arrangements and through programmes shaped for particular needs, partners and resources.
Purpose and governance
A founding purpose guides the institution while its governing and executive structures make accountable decisions. The governance page explains how responsibilities for budgets, safeguarding, delivery and reporting are assigned. Qualified specialists retain their own professional judgment within each project.
From purpose to programmes
Pellicano’s five delivery models turn its purpose into possible forms of work: direct delivery, joint projects, commissioned work, capacity development, and referral with coordination. Each proposed project needs a clear audience, responsible parties, resources and conditions for starting. The Institutional Bridge can support continuity when several stages or institutions are involved.
