First children centers opened in Gegharkunik region
Within the second phase of “A Healthy Start” project in one of the project regions Gegarkunik, Mission East cooperates with two local NGOs – Arevshat and Bari Hyus. These are newly established organizations, which were selected by ME to carry out the project. Mission East and its partner local NGOs are working closely with community leaders to establish Mainstream Family and Child Centers (MFCC) in 10 communities. The Mainstream Family and Child Centers will be the first step towards the integration of disabled children into society.
On June 18, 2009 the first three centers were opened by Arevshat Foundation in Ganzdzak, Sarukhan, and Karmirghyugh communities. Being newly established organization Arevshat has professional staff consisting of social worker, psychologist and teachers. The reconstruction of the centers is the first significant achievement for the organization.
