Progress Report January – March 2026

A NEW YEAR OF HOPE, GROWTH, AND INCLUSION

As 2026 began, your continued support brought renewed hope to children with disabilities in Tavush Marz.

Because of you, rehabilitation services did not pause, they continued to change lives every single day. Each small achievement is a direct result of your generosity! We are deeply grateful to you for standing with these children and their families!

What Your Support Made Possible

During January–March 2026, our four rehabilitation centers in Dilijan, Ijevan, Berd, and Noyemberyan continued providing comprehensive, individualized services to children with disabilities. 360 children continued receiving essential rehabilitation services, including:

·Physical therapy to improve mobility and independence

·Occupational therapy to strengthen daily living skills

·Speech therapy to enhance communication

·Art therapy to support emotional expression

·Psychological support for children and parents.These are not just services, they are lifelines for families who otherwise have nowhere to turn.

Visible Changes in Children’s Lives

Over these months, we observed meaningful progress in children’s development: Improved emotional stability and self-confidence

·Increased attention, engagement, and participation

·More active involvement in group activities and communication

·Greater readiness for school inclusion and social interaction

·Children who once felt isolated are now connecting, expressing themselves, and participating in their communities.

. Parents are not just observing change, they are living it.

A Story of Change

When Arman first came to our center, he avoided eye contact and rarely spoke. Even simple interaction felt overwhelming. Through regular speech therapy and art sessions, something began to shift. He started with small steps - responding to his name, holding a brush, sitting longer in sessions. Then one day, he surprised everyone by initiating communication with another child. Today, Arman participates in group activities, smiles more often, and is beginning to build friendships. His mother recently shared: "For the first time, I see my son wanting to be part of the world. " This is the impact of your support.

Why Your Support Matters Now More Than Ever Despite the progress, the need remains urgent. Without continued funding, children risk losing: Access to therapy Progress they have worked so hard to achieve Opportunities for inclusion and independence Consistency is critical in rehabilitation. Even short interruptions can reverse progress.

YOUR SUPPORT HAS ALREADY CHANGED HUNDREDS OF LIVES. BUT THE JOURNEY IS NOT OVER.

Thank you!

Reflecting on Progress:

Hope and Inclusion in Action As we reflect on the past months, the unwavering generosity of our donors has been a beacon of hope for children with disabilities in Tavush Marz of Armenia. Together, we’ve created opportunities for these incredible children to discover their potential, embrace their abilities, and take confident steps toward inclusion in their communities.

A SEASON OF PROGRESS: SIGNIFICANT MILESTONES OF OCTOBER TO DECEMBER 2025

Rehabilitation for 360 Children:

Our centers in Tavush Marz have provided life-changing therapies, including physical rehabilitation, speech therapy, art therapy, and psychological counseling. These services empower children with disabilities to overcome barriers and develop essential life skills. Stories of Transformation: Families report that their children are more active, happier, and thriving. One parent shared: “For the first time, my daughter smiled while painting in art therapy. I never thought I’d see her so joyful.” Inclusive Growth: Our children have transitioned from isolation to attending mainstream schools, making friends, and participating in sports and cultural activities. The Challenge We Face Despite this progress, the future of our project is uncertain. Funding shortages threaten to pause these vital services, leaving hundreds of children without the support they desperately need. This is a critical moment, and we need your help to ensure these children continue to receive life-changing care. How You Can Make a Difference Donate Today: Every contribution, no matter how small, directly supports therapies, education, and essential services for these children. A $50 donation provides a month of therapy for a child, giving them the chance to grow and thrive. Share: Please help us raise awareness about our project by sharing it with your networks. Together, we can amplify the impact and continue supporting children with disabilities in Armenia. Your compassion can keep the doors of our rehabilitation centers open. Your generosity can ensure these children continue their journey toward independence and dignity. Together, we can rewrite their futures.

Thank you for being an essential part of this mission.

Let’s make 2026 a year of boundless possibilities for every child with a disability in Armenia. Donate today and make a lasting difference!

ENABLE 360 CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES IN ARMENIA

SUMMER OF FRIENDSHIP, A FUTURE OF HOPE

Progress summary From May to August, 360 children with disabilities in Tavush Marz continued their journey of growth and inclusion. May was a month of hard work and achievement as children completed their school year with the support of therapies, learning progress, and confidence-building activ ities. Families and therapists prepared them for a summer full of joy, belonging, and discovery. In June and July, our “Summer of Friendship, a Future of Hope” inclusive camp became a magical place where children laughed, painted, danced, and played side by side with their peers — many experiencing friendship without barriers for the very first time. As August arrived, children proudly stepped into a new school and kindergarten year, carry ing with them courage, happy memories, and hope for the future. None of this would have been possible without you. Your generosity transforms lives every day — turning therapy into progress, loneliness into friendship, and dreams into reality.

Thank you for giving children the gift of hope!

360 CHILDREN, 360 STORIES OF FRIENDSHIP AND JOY SONA’S STORY

Sona, 11 years old, arrived at the summer camp shy and hesitant to join group games. On the second day, she held another girl’s hand during painting hour, and soon the two were laughing and creating colorful butterflies together. By the end of camp, Sona was running freely with her new friends — her smile said everything.

ARMEN’S STORY

Armen turned 10 during the summer camp, and for the first time, he celebrated his birthday surrounded by friends. The children sang, shared cake, and cheered for him — and Armen’s eyes sparkled with joy. What could have been just another day became a memory of belonging and happiness that he will carry forever.

Your kindness made Sona’s smile and Armen’s birthday celebration possible ! With your continued support, many more children will discover friendship, joy, and the chance to simply be children.
