Vito Safarov (1993-2018) was our friend and colleague who was a citizen of Georgia and had Jewish, Yazidi, and Armenian roots. He had been working in our partner organization 'Center for Participation and Development', was an administrative directors of 'Sources of Tolerance' and 'Small World' camps, was a case-manager and a human rights defender in Tbilisi Shelter City project and a volunteer in Jewish community in Georgia.

Vito could always find a way to the hearts of 'tough teenagers', colleagues and anyone around. Most of his short but bright life he had been fighting intolerance and hatred, working in educational projects.Vito had been fatally wounded 4 times by neo-nazis on the dawn of September, 30, 2018 near Liberty Square after trying to stop the conflict near the bar 'Warszawa' in Tbilisi.
