Armenia Special Projects
Core Programs Supported by the Foundation
There are long-lasting initiatives that the Foundation believes will help transform the Republic of Armenia into the best version of itself. The concepts of repatriation, volunteerism, and ecotourism are ones we are committed to promoting. We aim to support the groups actively engaged in these endeavors, and where there are gaps, we design and implement the program ourselves to advance this important work in Armenia’s development. Highlighted below are the Foundation’s core special projects.
