AfA Projects
- AfA Student Scholarship after Yervand NersisyanThis project started six years ago when two bright scholars from needy families were granted a monthly scholarship to study in Yerevan to cover their living expenses. During the last six years, 8 students were granted this scholarship to be able to study at the Yerevan State University, Yerevan State University of Architecture and Construction, the National Polytechnic University of Armenia, Artsakh State University and Yerevan State Medical University.
- Refugee Emergency ReliefMany Artsakh families had been impacted severely by the recent war, losing their family members and their homes in regions that were occupied by Azerbaijani forces. Families from Hadrut, Shushi, and Martakert regions had to seek temporary places to live in Stepanakert and Armenia. Their sons and husbands joined the armed forces to defend the homeland and sadly many of them didn’t make it back home. Those families needed urgent financial assistance before the Artsakh government can reorganize its resources to provide them with a relief package.
- Dental Care 4 Artsakh Refugees & SoldiersThis project provides dental care and promotes oral health for Artsakh refugees, displaced families, children, soldiers, and vulnerable populations in Armenia. It was started by a Registered Dental Hygienist named Maria Avakyan-Antonarakis. During a recent 4-week volunteer mission to Armenia, Ms. Avakyan-Antonarakis provided dental hygiene procedures and sponsored urgent dental treatments to children, soldiers, and refugee families from Artsakh following the 2020 war.
