Support Youth Living with Disabilities in Armenia!

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.
