With the fate of the nation in the balance, and with widespread assistance serving refugees throughout the Middle East, Greece, and Cyprus, AGBU leadership knew that rebuilding thriving, post-war Armenian communities depended on reopening AGBU chapters and developing infrastructure in these areas. By 1919, AGBU chapters in Aleppo, Beirut, Baghdad, Damascus, and Jerusalem were all up and running, ready to provide educational programs and medical assistance as needed.

It was 1906 in Cairo, Egypt. A group of prominent Armenian community leaders
came together with a noble vision: to assist Armenians living oppressed and
impoverished lives. Today, that vision is a global institutional legacy called AGBU.

The war brought a growing concern among the AGBU leadership about the plight of Armenian women and children, particularly those living in Bedouin tribes. In 1918, AGBU enlisted the assistance of British intelligence services and funded missions to rescue them and bring them back to Armenian communities. Various missions led by Levon Yotneghperian and Rupen Herian resulted in the recovery of hundreds of women and children between June and August 1919.

An early example of AGBU’s impressive and efficient action comes just months after April 24, 1915. In October of that same year, 1,260 children from Musa Dagh were living in tent camps in Port Said. In addition to paying for shelters for all the families, AGBU opened a school with AGBU’s treasurer serving as its principal. The Sisvan School fed, clothed and educated over 3,000 children by 1917, eventually also becoming a vocational school. This model of initiating humanitarian aid to meet immediate crisis followed by investment for the long-term care of the community is one that would repeat for over a century to come, and continues to be a trademark of AGBU's approach to relief.

AGBU’s expansive work during these years was supported by diaspora contributions and the leveraging of regional relationships. For example, as direct funding from Egypt became impassable, AGBU’s 60 US Chapters became a collection point for American and international funds, directing them to US consulates and humanitarian organizations that served as partners on the ground.

AGBU is now over 120 years old, and there are so many words to describe its impact on the Armenian homeland and diaspora. But what would be just one word to describe it - family? community? friendship? unity?

The answer is all of this and more! For 120 years, AGBU has strived to enhance the Armenian experience and ensure its relevance in today's world and in all of our lives.

We want to hear what your one word is to describe AGBU - let us know in the comments.

AGBU leadership has a long history of driving global advocacy for the welfare of Armenians. Boghos Nubar, respected both for his professional achievements and service through AGBU, was asked by His Holiness Catholicos Georges V of Blessed Memory to lead the Armenian National Delegation in Paris (AND), which he did from 1912-1921. The AND served as a diplomatic mission advocating for the claims of Armenians of Western Armenia including various attempts to preserve administrative autonomy for Armenians. The AND also participated in the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Sèvres (1920) in collaboration with the Delegation of the Republic of Armenia, which recognized Armenia as a free and independent state until it was superseded by the Treaty of Lausanne.

In its first decade of operations, AGBU stayed focused on improving the socio-economic standing of Armenians across the Ottoman Empire, focusing efforts to promote education and agricultural development. In 1910 alone, AGBU subsidized some 30 schools managed locally, usually in collaboration with the Armenian Apostolic Church. In addition farmers were given the livestock, seeds and tools essential to create self-sustaining communities. Sadly, by 1915, only two schools remained and few Armenian farmers were left in the towns and villages of Anatolia.
