The event “Blooming Hope” is organized by the International Vilnius Women’s Association, which unites the wives of employees of foreign embassies and businessmen from more than 25 countries living in Lithuania, as well as active Lithuanian women. With its voluntary activities, the association has been helping to solve social issues in Lithuania for 26 years.

The Blooming Hope initiative aims to improve breast cancer diagnosis. The initiative on April 25 was crowned by a solemn charity event and a documentary play – “Kintsugi people”.
