The Fund for Armenian Relief (FAR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the past, empowering the present, and ensuring the future for
people in Armenia, Karabagh and Javakhk.
Founded in response to the 1988 earthquake by the Diocese of the Armenian Church of
America (Eastern), FAR was reorganized into a private voluntary organization and recognized as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit by the IRS in March 1993. Since then, FAR has
implemented more than 220 relief, social, educational, and cultural projects valued at over
$265 million.
By catering its programs to the changing needs of the people and by
partnering with donors from around the globe, FAR offers hope to
the most vulnerable segments of the population by giving them the
tools, resources and guidance to build a better future.

A YEAR FOR IMPROVING AND STRENGTHENING
The Fund for Armenian Relief (FAR) had an incredible year in 2007!
Not only did FAR continue its well-known programs benefiting Armenia’s children, orphans, young adults, professionals, and elderly, it
also grew as an organization.

■ With relief programs, we change lives
HOMELESS CHILDREN’S CENTER
In the late 1990s, FAR noticed an alarming increase in the
number of children living on the streets. Unfortunately,
about a decade later, this upward trend has not stopped.
Several factors -- such as poverty, the absence of necessary
protection mechanisms, and the indifference of the welfare
system -- contribute to children being abandoned, neglected
or abused in Armenia.
To fight child abandonment and institutionalization, FAR’s
Homeless Children’s Center has grown since opening in
2000. It is now a full-service facility for at-risk children with

Another key development in 2007 was the creation of the

The overall goal of the Friends Council is to unite and attract new support and resources to help raise an empowered

FAR operates five soup kitchens -- in Nor Nork, Erebuni,
Shengavit, Nor Hajn, and Ashtarak -- to help meet the basic nutritional needs of the elderly and disadvantaged families and ease social tensions within family members.
Each weekday, 19 employees prepare hot meals to 860 vulnerable Armenians, . The goal of the Soup Kitchen project
is to ensure dignified life to the elderly and other disadvantaged persons by preventing their social-psychological segregation from society.
In 2007, FAR distributed clothes, shoes, food, hygiene kits,
and gifts thanks to in-kind donations from BAFA and International Relief and Development (IRD), a Virginia-based
nonprofit.

FAR renovated and furnished the guest house of Gavar
Orphanage. This three-bedroom guest house is intended as a safe home for up to nine older female orphans
(aged 18+) as they transition into the independent, adult
world. By law, orphans in Armenia who reach age 18 are
obliged to leave the only place they know. Boys escape street
life and possible exploitation by serving mandatory military
service. Now Gavar orphanage’s girls have recourse as well.
USAID KARABAGH CONTRACT
• Rehabilitate or build shelter, potable and irrigation water
systems, and health facilities to meet about 40% of the
remaining need in all regions of Karabagh
• Train facility staff in the proper use of new equipment
and facility maintenance for all rehabilitated infrastructure facilities.
It’s estimated that in total, more then 30,000 people will receive direct benefit from HAPNK. In 2007, FAR continued
construction/renovation works in the Martakert and Hadrut
regions of Karabagh.
FAR and its HAPNK healthcare partner, the American
University of Armenia (AUA), are charged with training
the 300 doctors and
health practitioners
in Karabagh on public
health care and public health management. In 2007, FAR
and AUA offered
two courses, Adult
Disease Management
and Integrated Management on Childhood Illnesses. Upon

KAPS SUMMER CAMP
Every year, children look forward to the summer when they
can spend cheerful time in camp with their peers. This summer camp experience, filled with sports, arts and cultural
extracurricular activities, has existed in Armenia for generations.
In 2007, 142 children, aged 10 to 14, from underprivileged
families in the Shirak province enjoyed the FAR summer
camps in thescenic countryside. It was made possible thanks
to generous support from CASP USA.
Kaps summer camp also creates seasonal employment opportunities for some of the province’s residents. In the past,
FAR renovated the village’s kindergarten building, where
the camp is housed, and installed a water pipeline and sewerage system.
JAVAKHK PROGRAMS
In 2007, FAR continued reaching out to our brothers and
sisters in Javakhk, by supporting the Puppet Theater and
Sunday School Program, as well as through various humanitarian and educational programs.
CONTINUING MEDICAL
EDUCATION PROGRAM
Launched in 2005 with the support from Jinishian Memorial
Foundation, FAR’s Continuing Medical Education (CME)
Program helps improve the overall health of the Armenian
people through post-graduate training of doctors practicing in the provinces, Karabagh and Javakhk by enhancing
their professional knowledge and skills and by providing opportunities to master innovative approaches, methods and
technologies. FAR sponsors the doctors’ travel and accommodations, and coordinates the post-graduate training with

OLD AGE HOME
Thanks to Kevork and Sirvart Karamanuk and the MIHR
Foundation, the Old Age Home in Vanadzor has been continuously operated by FAR since 2002, when French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour’s nonprofit transferred its operations to FAR. Fifty-five of the neediest seniors from Lori
and the surrounding provinces live in the Home, situated
near Vanadzor’s picturesque forest. The Home also provides
mobile services to 10 home-bound elderly in Vanadzor.
FAR employs 25 people to run the Home, including a doctor, nurse and psychologist, and maintains long-term agreements with a nearby hospital and private dental clinic. The
Old Age Home contains a dining hall, kitchen, library and

These doctors also attended lectures by members of FAR FAA (alumni of FAR’s medical fellowship program that brought about 80 Armenian doctors to the U.S. in the 1990s), by guest
lecturers from the U.S., Canada and Europe,
and seminars organized by YSMU, Young Scientists Council, ACG Clinics, Arabkir Medical
Centre, and the Anesthetists’ Association. To
learn about the newest products and prescription methods, they met with representatives
from GlaxoSmithKline, Hoffmann-La Roche,
Nikomed, and Gedeon Richter.
USAID WATER
REHABILITATION CONTRACT
In May 2007, USAID awarded FAR a $3.1 million, multiyear contract to implement the “Rehabilitation of Water Supply of Artashat Town
and 27 Designated Villages in the surrounding
area” project. Within USAID’s priorities, this
contract supports the further commercialization
of Armenia Water Company (AW) by improving water services and reducing unaccounted
water lost or theft in the targeted area.

ARMENIAN PAINTERS ASSOCIATION
For the seventh year, FAR has supported the Armenian
Painters Association. The program allows artists to be out
in nature and to paint the memorable scenes of their native
landscapes, providing them with paints, brushes, canvases,
and transportation to beautiful Armenian destinations.
About 20 artists took advantage of this program in 2007, taking part in visits to three sites: Yeghegnadzor, Ashtarak, and
Garni-Geghard. The artists expressed desire to visit the Garni
gorge, famous for its Stone Symphone, a natural “forest of basalt tubes.”
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS TRIP
TO ARMENIA AND KARABAGH
On FAR’s 11th annual trip, 12 young professionals from
across the U.S. toured Armenia and Karabagh as a group.
To see Armenia’s treasures and understand its cultural richness, the Diasporans traveled to all four corners of the Armenia, visiting Yerevan’s attractions and staying overnight in
Gyumri, Lake Sevan, Goris, and Karabagh. They met with
Minister of Foreign Affairs Vartan Oskanian and the mayor
of Karabagh’s Askeran region.

after a military coup d’état and introduction of communism
in the 1970s, gathered in Armenia in July 2007.

ARMENIAN NATIONAL SCIENCE
& EDUCATION FUND (ANSEF)
revan State Medical University.
Jerair Nishanian Scholarship Program provided 40 undergraduate scholarships and stipends.
ANSEF’s objective is to protect and support scientific and
scholarly research in Armenia, thereby helping to stem the
brain drain. It also encourages and rewards the involvement
of young professionals in cutting-edge scientific, technological and scholarly studies.
In 2007, the Armenian National Science and Education
Fund (ANSEF) awarded 20 teams of researchers in Armenia with annual grants of $5,000 each. Competitive annual
grants are awarded to small groups of scientists and scholars
to implement research projects in physics, natural sciences,
engineering and humanities. Since the first ANSEF grant offering in 2001, nearly 1,400 teams – each comprised of three
to five researchers, half of whom were aged 25-35 – have submitted proposals for consideration.
Coordinated by the Research Council chaired by Dr. Yervant
Terzian, the world-renown astrophysicist at Cornell University, the proposals are peer-reviewed by international experts
in the related fields. Those deemed to be ground-breaking
are then re-evaluated for funding. ANSEF has awarded 162
grants between 2001 and 2007, that’s $810,000.
Ounjian Scholarships sponsored 50 students who graduated
from the Gyumri school he reconstructed in memory of his
parents.

To promote Armenia’s IT industry expansion from Yerevan
to the Earthquake Zone, FAR opened the Gyumri IT Center
in 2005 to train individuals for world-class real-time projects.
This FAR effort assists in the development of an IT infrastructure as well as helps with the region’s recovery and job
growth. FAR’s GITC reputation for preparing qualified job
candidates has attracted international IT companies to open
branch offices in Gyumri.
GITC’s two-year curriculum of advanced learning methodologies in electrical engineering and web technologiesis
taught by leading specialists who arrive daily from Yerevan
to instruct the classes, which meet six days a week. Open 24
hours a day, seven days a week, the Gyumri IT Center’s computer labs are equipped with the latest technology.
GITC has begun offering summer courses to bring new students up to an appropriate level to start the intensive course.
Specialized courses for non-GITC students are extended to
Gyumri young professionals who need to close technical
knowledge gaps as a part of their employment requirements.
