Fund for Armenian Relief
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fund for Armenian Relief (FAR) is an US humanitarian organization, which provides short-term emergency relief and implements long-term programs for the economic growth and social development of Armenia. It helps the most vulnerable segments of the population - children and the elderly - and prepares the youth and professionals to drive the country's new democratic state.
FAR was founded in response to the devastating earthquake in 1988. Headquartered in New York City, it has three offices in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh and more than 150 full-time employees. It implements a wide range of programs, from operating daily soup kitchens and summer camps to providing educational scholarships and scientific grants to building irrigation systems.[1]
