| Page 2, Part III, Line 4a - Humanitarian Aid Program description | Humanitarian Aid - includes financial assistance to soup kitchens, nursing homes and senior centers providing hot and nutritious meals, housing and medical care to the most destitute seniors throughout Armenia. Also includes crisis intervention and rehabilitation for children by providing financial assistance, medical and psychological care, nutritious food, clothing, and educational and recreational materials as well as costs of renovating and furnishing the homeless children's center, special schools for children with special needs and orphanges in Armenia. Provides immediate relief programs in the devastated areas to those in need. In 2005, FAR partnered with the Armenian government to develop the nations first foster care program. Today FAR continues to work with UNICEF-Armenia and USAID to make sure children end up in good homes instead of state institutions. Many children who come to the center for help are eventually taken in by foster parents. The center leads efforts to improve the National Child Protection System, which utilizes all available resources for children in need and lobbies to improve the governments existing child protection system. In this vein, FAR continually builds the capacity of child and family care specialists, raises awareness by lobbying for childrens rights and family protection, develops social technologies aimed to identify children and families at-risk, and expands and strengthens the nations foster care system. FAR was founded in the midst of a humanitarian emergency when an earthquake struck Armenia in 1988. Meeting the critical needs of the most destitute through housing, medical care and nutrition has been a core mission of FAR ever since. Through support to soup kitchens, hot and nutritious meals are prepared and served to the poor and elderly every day. The Vanadzor Old Age Home (VOAH), which has been supported by FAR since 2002, provides direct care to poverty stricken residents and homebound seniors in the area. All of these programs provide beneficiaries additional access to medical care and social services, as well as a social outlet for those in need. These services are especially necessary in a nation where at least half of the population lives below the poverty line, suffering from malnutrition and sickness. The poverty has a particularly harsh effect on the elderly, as many of those suffering are at least 60 years old. |
| Page 2, Part III, Line 4b - Social and Economic Programs | Social and Educational Programs - Provides scholarship, vocational training, financial assistance/living stipends, and housing to orphan students and students from underprivileged families throughout Armenia. Carving out educational opportunity for Armenia's youth is an integral part of FAR's mission. Since the 1990s, FAR has taken significant steps to invest in Armenian education at all levels. Its efforts in the construction and renovation of more than 16 schools has helped to combat a high drop out rate and provided more opportunity to students. Also, with the escalating cost of both public and private universities, many students are unable to move on to higher education. FAR provides merit-based scholarships to help hundreds of young Armenians attend university and vocational training programs each year. This has transformed lives and has helped to lay the foundation for a sustainable knowledge-based economy in a country where the educational system has been plagued with budget shortfalls and lack of public funding. Almost 25 percent of students do not reach high school and children with disabilities have limited access to basic education. By investing in these major programs throughout the country, FAR provides not only opportunity for individuals to enrich their lives, but also strengthens Armenian society as a whole. |
| Page 2, Part III, LIne 4c - Agriculture and Economic Programs | Agriculture and Economic Development - includes expenses that will help stimulate Armenia's economy by building and renovating educational facilities, by assisting young Armenians in gaining marketable skills and in acquiring new jobs through innovative educational programs. FAR has developed a grants program to promote the implementation of research projects by scientists in Armenia. Also includes one project designed to help a community business development and support center by building a facility for agro products collection and cool storage. |
| Page 2, Part III, 4d - Other Programs | Medical Projects - includes expenses for programs to provide access to the latest medical technologies, to improve the continued medical education of doctors and nurses and to enhance medical research throughout Armenia. FAR has always been committed to creating and supporting the expansion of excellent medical care as a way to improve the quality of life for Armenians. Armenia boasted one of the most highly developed health care systems prior to its independence from the Soviet Union, under which everyone was guaranteed free and adequate medical care regardless of status. After independence, this system disintegrated entirely. This means that today most doctors and healthcare workers are largely unable to afford the training needed to stay abreast of the latest methodologies and technologies and are constantly faced with a shortage of equipment and supplies. |
