Debi Arach provides educational, humanitarian and psychological support to socially vulnerable children in Gyumri. Homework assistance, hot daily meals, enrichment classes and career development courses provide these children the tools they need to help them break their family’s cycle of poverty.
Launched in 2017, the Dr. Gary and Mrs. Linda Assarian Vocational Training Program at Debi Arach provides a variety of specialty training and “get to work” programs for socially vulnerable young people. In 2021, with major support from the Assarian Family, the Hianali Beauty Center and Training Program opened its doors to more than 40 young people eager to learn a skill, work and support their families.
