Our Donations

Athletes for Armenia was founded in order to bring new and gently-used sports clothing and equipment to orphans living in Armenia. Around 5,000 children in Armenia spend all or most of their time in residential childcare institutions, such as orphanages and boarding schools. Over 80% of children in orphanages have at least one living parent — but high unemployment, poverty, and migration contribute to parents’ inability to care for their children. In some areas, there are limited options and resources for children with disabilities, and very few private and state-funded institutions overall.

Most orphanages and daycare centers also lack sports programs and equipment that many children need in order to thrive. Athletes for Armenia hopes to bring these items to orphanages in Armenia with the desire to enrich the lives the these children.
