Our Story

Meet The Founder
Our journey began in 2003 with a simple request for a glass of water. Garo Armen, the Founder and Chairman of COAF, was visiting Karakert, a village in his ancestral homeland of Armenia. When he asked an elderly local for a drink of water, he was astounded to learn that clean water was not a reality for the village residents.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Garo committed to revitalizing the rural regions of Armenia.
“Village people are extraordinary, and they deserve extraordinary things.”
