The goal of the program is to help 4 orphanages in Armenia with their needs to provide safer and healthier facilities for the children as those orphanages buildings, like many others in Armenia, are in the state of dangerous unrepair. The total number of the children those we will help is 577. Another small component of the program is equipment installation and landscaping for better surrounding territory of the orphanages.
The second part of this program is our innovative technique to reduce the number of children committed to the orphanages due to their family poverty. Since most of the kids "become" orphans when either one or both parents present, our organization runs a small pilot program in one of the orphanages. By this program the caregivers of the kids will be supplied with food and clothes to help them keep the children at home.
One of the recent accomplishments is a fund of new warm children clothes, school backpacks, pens, markers and pencils that we collected with the help of several local businesses and private donors. This fund of clothes is distributed to the 4 orphanages by our Program coordinator in March 2006.
