Voices of SMART

"Youth who live in villages very often don't have the opportunities SMART provides, from creative thinking to project design. COAF's impact is huge."

Let's Take the Next Step

A single gift changes a moment. A monthly gift changes a future.

Children don't stop learning after one campaign. Families don't stop needing support. Communities don't stop growing.

‍

Neither should opportunity. Inspired by Mount Ararat—steadfast, enduring, and always present—The Ararat Circle is a community of people who choose to stand with Armenia every month. Your monthly gift provides the dependable support that allows COAF to invest boldly in the next generation of rural Armenia

When Rural Armenia Thrives, So Does All of Armenia

Rural Armenia is the voices, dreams, and potential of a generation. Rural Armenia is deep roots, reaching into ancient cultural memory. Rural Armenia is the future of a nation.

‍Stand with rural Armenia. Join the Ararat Circle.
