Protection of the rights and interests of homeless families and parentless children living in damp and very old containers in the disaster zone for more than twenty years and provision of all kinds of assistance to them has become the main mission of “Shirak Center”.Starting from 2011 we began to present the living conditions of the families and children in the most vulnerable situation through video material, which was published both in our web site www.shirakcentre.org and in almost all the Armenian leading electronic and printed media.

The reactions to the video material were unexpected. Numerous individuals and charity organizations provided assistance from different towns of Armenia and especially abroad. 6 families living in temporary containers and having received no reimbursement from the government have become owners of apartments, dozens of families received wood for heating the apartments, a number of parentless children received one-off and monthly financial assistance, enough amount of food, clothes, gygiene articles and other things were provided to dozens of families. Totally, assistance in the amount of more than 100 000USD was provided to the poor and homeless families of Gyumri through our organization.

With the goal to make the assistance provided to the homeless families and parentless children and the money flow connected with it most transparent and accountable, “Shirak Center” has opened bank accounts. We call to make the financial contributions to one of the following accounts.
