March 28th marked a great day in the history of Mission East and our Armenian partners. On that day, around 120 representatives of Armenian civil society and state institutions had come together to celebrate the launch of the second phase of the groundbreaking ‘A Healthy Start’ project implemented by Mission East and key Armenian Government and non-Governmental organizations.
For this major event, keynote speeches were made by – among others - three Government ministers, two members of the National Parliament as well as representatives of Mission East and our Armenian partners.
The event was also the focus of much attention from the media, with a number of major TV stations and written media representatives present. Thus, for several days after the event, Mission East, our partners and the ‘A Healthy Start’ project were brought to the attention of the wider population of Armenia, thus once again highlighting the plight of the thousands of disabled children still in need of early intervention and follow-up care.

On a national level the project has also been a success, attracting a lot of attention in both political circles and by frequent presentations in the written and broadcast media.
In Mission East, we consider it a great success that the model proposed through ‘A Healthy Start’ has now been supported by the Armenian Government for a national roll-out. Thus, there is a firm foundation for the start of the second phase of the project, which during the coming three years will be implemented in 20 communities of the poor northern regions of Tavush and Gegharkunik.
