Help Us Keep the Torfavan Kindergarten
Open for Local Families
The Torfavan Kindergarten currently serves 30 children from the villages of Torfavan, but the facility is at risk of closure due to the lack of a separate bedroom required under Armenian kindergarten regulations. Completing this expansion project and installing proper heating are essential in keeping the kindergarten open and continuing to serve the local families.
Completing the expansion and installing a heating system will immediately provide the kindergarten with a dedicated sleeping area and a warmer, more comfortable environment for children and staff. These improvements will allow the kindergarten to continue operating while providing local families with reliable access to early childhood education and care close to home.
A properly functioning and heated kindergarten will help children build strong educational and social foundations while supporting the long-term stability and growth of the community.
Meds Masrik Kindergarten Expansion Continues
Construction on the expansion has now been completed, marking an exciting milestone for the project. Renovation work on the kitchen building is also nearing completion, and we are looking forward to celebrating the official opening soon. This progress brings us one step closer to creating an improved and welcoming space for the community to enjoy.
Sari Gat Expands With Donation
Sari Gat, in Nerkin Karmir Aghbyur, was able to expand its production and distribution, grow its staff, and purchase more local milk from nearby dairy farmers thanks to the generous support of Jean-Marie & Lori Atamian. This investment created a meaningful economic boost for the village, supporting local families and strengthening the community’s long-term sustainability. Thank you to the Atamian Family for their donation!
Nourishing Armenia Keeps Inspiring
One of the students at Debi Arach Children’s Center who helps out with the Nourishing Armenia Greenhouse was so inspired by the program that she decided to create a mini greenhouse of her own at home! Moments like this show the true impact of the program, not only teaching students about growing food, but inspiring curiosity, creativity, and a lasting connection to sustainability and learning.
