Simonyan Foundation (Simonian Educational Foundation)

Our Mission: Simonyan Foundation’s mission is to stretch out a helping hand to the Armenian people who are living in the villages and towns of both Armenia and abroad. 

Our Purpose: Since the very first year of its establishment in 2000, Simonyan Foundation has provided means to cover the basic needs of children and adults who have dealt with the darker side of life. Our goal has always been to enhance their quality of life. This is largely due to Armenia, being a country without medical or social insurance, having very vivid expressions of poverty and miserable living conditions, especially in rural areas. Among other things, we have ensured access to education/self-development, food, clothing and other items needed routinely such as shelter and work opportunities.

Our objective is ‘not only taking people out of their village, but taking the village out of them’, and ‘not only giving people fish to eat but teaching them to catch their own fish’.
