In the coming days, HDIF will be making the biggest export shipment it has EVER made! Thousands of Christmas ornaments will be flying out of Yerevan and over to the US.
How did this come about?
Friends in the Armenian Tree Project introduced us to one of their supporters. He asked if HDIF wanted support. We told him that we don't want him writing a check, we want him ordering goods for his gift and interior company in the US.
The result?
Santas by the thousands. Snowmen by the thousands. Doves by the hundreds. Owls by the thousands. Santas accessories by the thousands. Angels by the hundreds.... and more!
Who benefits?
Women in Berd and the surrounding villages in Shamshadin.
Women in Keti up by the Georgian border.
Women in Kapan
Women refugees from Syria
Women in Yerevan
...by the hundreds
This has been an amazing adventure and a real challenge. We have grown. We have learned.
The Board of Directors of HDIF has said that we shall positively economically influence 2500 women in Armenia by the end of 2019.
This was a step in that direction.
