On April 2, 2020 ARF Supreme Council of Armenia’s Repats’ Advisory office distributed food to 24 families.

The project was funded by two donors who incurred all the costs of preparation for the necessary food packages.

To avoid human contact, the Repats’ Advisory office personally organized the process of delivery food to the needy families.

“We received phone calls from numerous repatriated families that they are in a tight financial situation due to the spread of coronavirus. Some of them have just settled in Armenia and have issues with employment, and in other cases, are individuals who are unfamiliar with the local laws and government assistance programs. Thanks to our two donors, it was possible to take action and directly help both repatriate and also families in need”, said Araz Kaymakamian,

Repats’ Advisory employee. “This program was not a part of our office’s mission, but several donors expressed their willingness to help needy families. If the donations are continnued to be received, we will continue the program in partnership with our sister organizations – as far away from the cameras as we were this time” added the committee chairman.
