This programme is designed to reach out to Armenia's children, experiencing hardship and in need of support from each one of us. Families are selected according to vulnerability criteria, and World Vision staff members regularly monitor and assess their progress. It's an opportunity for each of us to invest in shaping an intelligent, educated and self-standing generation. There are two sponsorship options: 1. Poverty Reduction and Resilience, 2. Child Education and Development.
The most vulnerable children are those children whose quality of life and ability to fulfill their potential is limited because of their extreme deprivation and rights violation. Poverty directly affects children's lives, from proper nutrition to early preschool education, school success, non-formal education and opportunities to play. The selected children are among the most vulnerable and the vulnerable. It is important for the family to have a vision for future and hope to overcome poverty.
World Vision Armenia has developed vulnerability criteria based on UN State standards in Armenia. Families are selected based on these criteria. Right after the selection, World Vision specialists conduct an in-depth assessment of the needs, and an individual development plans for the child and the family are developed. The families are regularly monitored throughout the Program for progress assessment.
