Support Youth Living with Disabilities in Armenia!

The organization continues to work on a summer schedule. During the summer vacations, the organization's regime is lighter, because most of the children are in camps, in the villages at their grandparents' house, went on vacation with their parents, etc. The organization sent 9 children to a health resort camp.

The organization is preparing to provide school bags and stationery to all 1st grade students of the Charentsavan community and 5 rural communities on the occasion of the Knowledge Day on September 1 and at the beginning of the new school year. The total number of bags is 400 and so many stationery items are placed in the bags.

We continue to work, to move forward

Under the constant auspices of the organization, we provided financial support to a very socially disadvantaged family to take care of the family. The father of this family fell at work and injured his leg, we supported him with a cane and support.
We continue our duty and do our best for the organisation's young members in these difficult times for us.

Regardless of the conditions created, the Charentsavan Resource Center Charitable Non-Governmental Organization continues to be an active non-governmental organization in the region. Gives fast, optimal solutions to the social problems that arise before him. The number of young people with physical disabilities has increased even more in war-torn Armenia. The resource center is the only one that provides the disabled with the necessary items - a wheelchair, a cane, a hygienic toilet, a walker with no financial obligations, only on the condition of returning to the organization after recovery. In total, we provided 3 wheelchairs 6 steps, 4 canes, 1 hygienic toilet 2 canes. The organization continues the Courses in two groups, where 3 4 grade students attend. After school the children come to the center. We provide children with all the necessary stationery, necessary materials from the Internet. In August, together with AFID (Armenian Film Development Foundation) for a “Movie school without limitations” project for young kids with disabilities, we organized a course for three students aged 15-16. The course was organized online. The course is scheduled to end by the end of December. The best student will continue to participate in other thematic courses in the future. This project is supposed to provide educational training and knowledge in movie making.

During these unprecedented times Resource Center NGO has been continuing to support its beneficiaries. After schools were closed for summer break (May 25^th), our NGO continued to provide educational classes. 2 classrooms were created with maximum 10 pupils per classroom. We continued to help our young beneficiaries to study and get educated, as education was put on hold and delayed since the Global Pandemic affected the world.

On June 10^th Resource Center NGO provided food aid (bag with essential food: grains, sugar, flour, butter and oil, pastas, canned goods (beef and peas), tea, condensed milk, chocolate) to 300 families. With the unexpected war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, some families were left with no homes. Many of them lost fathers/brothers that were supporting their families. Resource Center NGO also included these families in the recent aid. We made sure that safe procedures were arranged to guarantee minimum contact to prevent Covid 19 spread during this aid. It took us 15 days to safely distribute the aid to all families in need. Our volunteers delivered the bags directly to the homes of these 300 families.

Couple years ago, Resource Center NGO applied to AFID (Armenian Film Development Foundation) for a “Movie school without limitations” project for young kids with disabilities and have been selected. This project is supposed to provide educational training and knowledge in movie making. Alas, due to pandemic the launch of this project has been delayed, however a week ago AFID announced that the training will be conducted online. Our NGO has contacted its beneficiaries (young kinds with disabilities) to include them in this training. By the completion of this training the best participants will be offered a job.

Resource Center Charitable NGO started the educational program from February. We have 2 groups and 20 pupils. The lockdown and schools being shut had a negative effect on children's productivity.
Online shcool doesn't have the same impact as the regular school, and having online classes in Armenia did not give the same quality as in the rest of the world because this was our first experience with distant shcooling.
Our organisation also helped to provide legal advice to five families and for one particular family legal support in the court .
In addition to these families, people who sufferd from unjust violation of rights from the goverment members also got our layers professional consultation.
We also implemented social support to 50 families with food packages fro New Year and Christmas. We also organased a celebration, visited the houses of children with disabilities and we gave more that 500 sweets-gift packages to the children.
