CHARITY PARTNER
Run for Education supports the “Teach for Armenia” Foundation.
Since September 19, 2023, over 100,000 people, including 30,000 children, have been forcibly displaced from Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh). For nearly a year, they endured a blockade that harmed their health and disrupted their education.
Leveraging experience from our emergency response to the 2020 Artsakh war, Teach For Armenia has formed a coalition of organizations to coordinate wraparound support for displaced students. Over the next year, we will work with the Armenian government to position public schools as community centers where community-based organizations can orchestrate carefully coordinated services, including education, nutrition, health, housing, and psychosocial support.
