ABOUT COMPANY:
Guided by a mission to build a resilient and just environment alongside the people we serve, the Foundation has carried out over 500 projects and supported countless initiatives — from individual lives to national development agendas — touching thousands of people across generations. For two decades, we were deeply rooted in Artsakh, supporting its people across resettlement, economic development, education and healthcare, cultural and religious preservation, resilience-building, and international advocacy. Today, that same commitment drives our work in Syunik and across the regions of Armenia, building with the people who call it home the future that Armenia deserves.
