Providing assistance to Armenians residing in their homeland by offering education, community support and humanitarian aid.

Over the years we at friends of armenia have organised meetings with soldiers and their families as well as the displaced elderly people in Vanadzor Armenia.
The wounded soldiers and the refugees from Karabakh do receive financial assistance, but their mental state needs special attention, which many charities in Armenia are involved in.
There is the ARPY foundation for the displaced families etc. in Vanadzor, who provide advisory services in the fields of mental health, social and legal advice. In the past who we did cooperating with them in organising the above events. ` They only have a one room office and cannot accommodate more than ten or so, but the requirements for social meetings and mutual contacts of the elderly and ex-soldiers are increasing and after consultation with us, a Pilot Program has been created to assist.

The program plan is to rent a room next to ARPY office in central Vanadzor and organise 3-4 times a week meetings of the elderly, where they can meet specialists, therapists and each other, in order to find solutions to their problems and most of all socialise, since most of them lead a lonely life.
There also is a local charity called AMCOR, who are active in the same filed and are prepared to partake in the project.
the room's free time could be used by ex-soldiers as a meeting place, which they sorely need.
