Where Potential Blossoms
We believe that everyone is born with unique gifts, and everyone should have the opportunity to thrive!
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!

Our Initiatives
There are several ways we support and empower those with diverse needs to reach their potential.

Aregak Bakery
Our cafe that employs young adults with disabilities and parents of special needs kids.
Green Aregak

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.

Putting your donations to work
Here is how we use your generous financial gifts for our foundation and Emili Aregak Center since this is our main focus. Because our other social initiatives are self-sustaining, such as Aregak Bakery & Café, this information does not include the budget for those.
Providing Therapies
Providing developmental therapies is the focus of our work. This means providing salaries for the therapists, accessible transportation to and from the center for the children, ensuring the equipment is maintained and the space is clean and safe.
Management
Without the blood, sweat, and tears of our HR, office manager/technical support, and director the therapies wouldn't be able to run smoothly and we wouldn't be able to seek creative ways to reach our vision.
Marketing & Fundraising
Our goal is to be financially self-sufficient. Yet we are still setting up the these sustaining systems by increasing visibility and support through videos/print materials, maintaining the website and donor platform, writing grants, and seeking the input of our amazing donors.
Accounting & Legal
This entails monitoring and evaluation, audits, bank charges, using financial services and expertise, and legal advice.
Give Hope
Because of donors like you, our families don’t have to pay for the therapies their children need. Thank you for ensuring they have one less burden on their shoulders!
