COAF’s Education programs are a beacon of hope, igniting the flames of change within students across Armenia.
Through our rigorous extracurricular initiatives, we provide young minds with the tools they need to not only excel academically but also to become advocates for their communities and architects of their nation’s future.
COAF is dedicated to revolutionizing healthcare services in rural areas of Armenia. By implementing high-quality interventions and treatments, coupled with accessible and comprehensive health education, we strive to equip generations of Armenians with the necessary resources to take charge of their health and make tangible improvements in their physical well-being.
In pursuit of empowering rural communities, COAF’s Economic Development program stands as a beacon of progress, driving forward business and infrastructure to unlock the full potential of each village. Through meticulous assessment and evaluation, we identify the unique competitive advantages and investment opportunities that lie dormant in these communities, waiting to be harnessed for a brighter future.
Our Child & Family Services embrace a holistic approach that leaves no aspect of a child’s well-being to chance. From speech therapy that empowers children to find their voice, to psychological support that helps them navigate the complexities of emotions, and social work services that provide a safety net for families in need – we stand by their side, guiding them through every step of their journey.

Elen Kharatyan from the village of Dsegh in Lori first stepped into the SMART Center at just eight years old—and she hasn’t been away for long since.
She says every program at SMART has something special to offer, but the ones closest to her heart are Dance, Drawing, and Russian. Right now, she’s especially excited about joining the AgriTech program.
Once the bassist of Vanadzor’s beloved band Clocker, and later a trombone player during his army service, Sevada Hovhannisyan now brings his musical journey full circle as the Sound Design instructor at the COAF SMART Center in Lori.
Narek’s older brother may have joined SMART first, but it didn’t take long for the roles to reverse. Soon, everyone was calling his older brother “Narek’s brother, Manvel.”
