Unison, the leading non-governmental organization in Armenia, which advocates for the rights of people with disabilities, is pleased to announce the launch of its new bilingual website www.unison.am.
Our new website will serve as a tremendous resource for not only people with disabilities, but also international organizations, prospective donors and anyone who would like to learn more about our organization, available resources for or the issues facing people with disabilities in Armenia, said Armen Alaverdyan, Executive Director of Unison. Our new website’s functionality allows visitors to download most of the publications and videos produced by Unison free of charge. Our photo gallery illustrates the success of our many projects and achievements from 2003 until today. In addition, the disability related resources section provides valuable information on many important issues including: Accessibility, Education, Employment, Rehabilitation, Laws and others.
The website redesign and build was made possible through a grant from The Paros Foundation. The website was designed and built through a collaborative effort by the capable team of Lilit Khudoyan and Sevan Amirians.
Bringing Unison’s valuable message and resources to people throughout the world via this website and the internet was an attractive investment for the Paros Foundation. I am certain that the visitors to this site, both disabled and not, will appreciate Unison’s capable and important work, said Peter Abajian, Executive Director of The Paros Foundation. Our hope is that Unison’s website will serve as a gateway and catalyst to attract other project sponsors and resources.
