Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind.

Dear Friends,

Each one of us would like to be remembered for all the good we leave in this world. What could be a better memorial than to give a child the promise of a better future and to offer dignity and hope to the homeless and destitute elderly at the end of their days?

We are immensely grateful to all of our donors, who continue to make the invaluable work of Orran a daily reality. With your support, Orran is transforming the lives of hundreds of families in Armenia, saving them from the misery of poverty and loneliness. Our mission is to:

  • Divert children from the streets and engage them in academic, cultural, and extra-curricular activities.
  • Identify and develop children's interests and talents toward a working career.
  • Fight the concept of beggar children as the principal breadwinners of their families.
  • Help families "in crisis".
  • Assist the lonely and needy elderly.
  • Prevent the spread of destitution and begging among Armenia's children and elderly.

Unfortunately, the global financial crisis has had a severe impact on our work. We have fewer resources and more and more people knocking on our door for help. We hate refusing anyone, especially those in desperate need. So many people depend on us in so many ways. We provide the following services to our elderly beneficiaries and children.

  • In addition to educational and vocational training, our poverty stricken child beneficiaries receive a daily hot meal, medical, and psychological assistance and participate in art skills workshops.
  • The parents of our children are also the beneficiaries of vital psychological advice.
  • Senior citizens come to Orran every day for lunch, companionship, interaction with the children and various social functions.
  • Hundreds of children and adults receive clothing, shoes, and other necessities.
  • A large number of people visit Orran from the streets, requesting food money, medical care. 

We cannot continue helping families in need without your support. That is why we ask you to consider leaving a gift to Orran in your legacy. This would ensure that your kindness and generosity would continue to make a lasting difference for so many needy children and elderly. In most countries, including the US and UK, any such gift is estate or inheritance tax efficient since it is deducted before any tax is paid. We ask you to seriously consider this request. By leaving a legacy to Orran, you are leaving a better future for Armenia.

Please feel free to contact us with any further questions/assistance.

Chairman, Board of Directors
