Let’s Build One Together
Join us in our campaign to raise funds for the construction of an outdoor recreation area and playground at the Youredjian Child & Family Center (CFC) in Myasnikyan, Armavir. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development’s (EBRD) Community Initiative engages EBRD staff to carry out charitable initiatives in the countries that EBRD invests. COAF’s Child & Family Centers serve as beacons of hope, offering essential services and inclusive learning environments to vulnerable populations. The Youredjian CFC in Myasnikyan is poised to support 300-400 children aged 3-6, including forcibly displaced youth from Nagorno-Karabakh, providing early childhood education, psychosocial support, and tailored programs for children with special learning needs.
COAF’s CFCs provide crucial inclusive learning and support services to vulnerable populations across Armenia. These early childhood development hubs offer free preschool education, speech therapy, and psychosocial support, extending a helping hand to families in rural communities and combating mental health stigmas.
Why it matters?
The communities surrounding the Youredjian CFC in Myasnikyan face immense challenges, with a 40.8% poverty rate—the second highest in Armenia. Over half of Armavir’s children live in poverty, lacking essential developmental services. CFCs like ours are vital for their well-being.
Your donation will create a lasting impact by helping us build a dream playground for them. This outdoor space will foster children’s holistic development—physical, social, and inclusive—setting the stage for a brighter future. Your contribution can transform lives and nurture a better tomorrow.
The Youredjian CFC in Myasnikyan, Armavir, aims to support 300-400 children annually, focusing on vulnerable populations like forcibly displaced from Nagorno Karabakh. This space will offer a safe, vibrant environment for kids to play, interact, and grow.
Join us in building brighter futures for hundreds of children and families in need in the region of Armavir.
The EBRD Community Initiative has agreed in principle to provide matching funding subject to the condition that the necessary money will be raised, and the reporting requirements will be met.
Children of Armenia Fund (COAF) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that employs community-led approaches aimed at improving the quality of life in rural Armenia, with particular focus on children and youth.
