Unverified non-profit organisation

Following the devastating earthquake in Armenia on 7 December 1988, SOS Children’s Villages decides to offer immediate aid to the children who have lost their parents.

SOS Children’s Villages Armenia works directly with families and communities to empower them to effectively protect and care for their children, in cooperation with local authorities and other service providers. Our aim is the qualitative improvement of services of public schools and kindergartens by offering skill enhancement to teachers and educators as well as supporting children on a demand-oriented and individual basis.
