Where Potential Blossoms
At Caritas Aregak Foundation, we believe in unlocking the potential of every individual. Through a holistic approach, we provide young people with disabilities and their families the support they need to flourish. Our programs foster independence, build resilience, and create opportunities for them to lead fulfilling lives.
I love Aregak very much. It has given me many friends. Every time I visit, I feel so happy to see Alyona, Diana and Shoghik and they are always ready to help me. I hope Aregak will always be here in Gyumri. I would love to see many children here!

I am so proud that this place exists in my hometown of Gyumri. The fact that not only does this place serve incredible food and has incredible services but also is a place where people feel included, have self worth, and feel they can give back to society, is so important.

WHERE YOUR GENEROSITY GOES
Your donations power the foundation and Emili Aregak Center, helping us provide critical care and services. Our self-sustaining initiatives, like Aregak Bakery & Café, continue to thrive without relying on these resources.
Providing Therapies
Providing developmental therapies is central to our mission. Your contributions help fund therapist salaries, offer accessible transportation for children, and ensure that our equipment is up to date and our center remains a safe and welcoming space.
Management
Behind the scenes, our management team ensures the center runs like clockwork. From HR to office support and leadership, their dedication keeps everything moving forward, allowing us to focus on the children we serve.
Marketing & Fundraising
While we do generate income through our social enterprises, we still need support from our wonderful donors to make the magic happen! This enables us to develop marketing materials, maintain our online presence, and engage donors as we work toward increasing our self-sufficiency.
Accounting & Legal
Our financial and legal team manage our audits and provide expert advice and monitoring services. This ensures that we remain compliant and transparent in all our work, so every donation is used responsibly.
YOUR GIFT OF CARE
Your contributions make it possible for families to access essential therapies at no cost. Thank you for helping lighten their load and ensuring their children have the support they deserve.
