is a non-profit organization established to fund-raise and help implement programs and activities benefiting children and young adults on the autism spectrum to improve their ability for productive, meaningful and integrated life in the community throughout their lifetime. We support organizations who are directly active in the fields of providing daily care, effective job and vocational training,
organizing athletic and social events, outdoor activities including camping and hiking. We focus on supportive and educational services that enable autistic individuals to reach their potential, learn responsibilities and basic life skills to be more independent. We emphasize that due to limited resources and services available in Armenia, there is an increasing need for the autism community which remains our main priority and the center of our attention. Our Vision
We work towards to a life changing advocacy for an inclusive society that understands, accepts and respects all individuals on the autism spectrum and other developmental disabilities to empower each person to reach their highest potential. Most of our board members have a loved one on the autism spectrum. We believe that each one of us is an ambassador for acceptance of all abilities into our family and into our community at large. You will find us collaborating with and supporting other autism and cross-disability related organizations around the globe to strengthen our vision. We will continue to reach out to individuals, businesses, and organizations to increase autism awareness and to support and assist individuals with special needs and their families to overcome challenges of daily life, envisioning a brighter future for them all. My Way Autism Fund for Armenia Inc. is co-founded in October 2020 in L.A., California, by a group of local and parents with autistic family members residing in Armenia or with a desire to be part of this endeavor. What distinguishes MWAFA as a unique organization is our volition to help children and young adults with autism in Armenia who are in grave need of support. Our board members devote their time and efforts to MWAFA with a strong believe in its mission and vision. We proactively include individuals on the autism spectrum in our key staff, program development, and volunteer roles. We embrace and welcome broad range of assistance and support from individuals and organizations who share our vision and are interested in our mission. March, 2021
