The Armenians from Artsakh are still recovering from the acute physical and emotional stresses sustained over the last three years of war, blockade, and forced evacuations. With your gifts to the AGBU Global Relief Fund, patients of all ages can receive free health care at the AGBU Claudia Nazarian Polyclinic. Its full-time medical team is dedicated to the healing of Armenians who have fled from conflict zones to safety in the homeland.
Please give generously in this holiday season of hope. We accept donations in USD, CAD, EUR, and CPB.

A little-known part of Armenia, Artsakh has been fought over for centuries. This lush, green mountainous region comprises unexplored forests, timeless villages, and two cities that were once capitals of different ages. In short, a last, unforgettable paradise. Little has changed from the country 2,000 years ago when the first Christian ethnic group of sedentary farmers and herders inhabited it.

The photographs by Graziella Vigo tell of a still-visible original peasant life.

100% of book sales will support humanitarian and medical aid programs serving displaced families from Artsakh. Visit https://agbu.org/global-relief.

With well over 75,000 total meals to date, our team is on the ground serving warm meals to Artsakh families and elderly currently in 7 regions: Aragatsotn, Ararat, Armavir, Gehgharkunik, Kotayk, Syunik, and Vayots Dzor. We are incredibly proud to share that we have been able to employ individuals from Artsakh to help run teams, cook, and deliver food, ensuring our efforts help in more ways than one.
Please support our work as we continue developing short and long-term solutions for our fellow Artsakh Armenians.
