They continue to provide support to Armenian educational institutions in Lebanon

Continuing to support our compatriots in Lebanon, Hayastan All-Armenian Fund provided financial support to 16 Armenian educational institutions operating in Lebanon.

As reported by Hayastan Foundation, the 100,000 US dollars provided by the local body of the Foundation in France will be used to pay the salaries of teachers and staff of these educational institutions.

The financial support was transferred to "Armenian Evangelical Central High School- Ashrafieh," “Armenian Evangelical Shamlian Tatigian School”, ”National Haratch C. Gulbenkian Sec. School," "United Armenian College - UAC," "AGBU Schools in Lebanon," "St. Hripsimyants College," "Armenian Catholic Holy Cross Harboyan High School," "Mesrobian High School and Technical College," "Mkhitarist Fathers School,” "Armenian Evangelical College,”"Yeghishe Manoukian College," "Sahaguian L. Meguerditchian College," "Armenian Evangelical School, Aynjar" “National Noubarian-Khrimian School”, "Vahan Tekeyan Intermediate school" and as well as "Hamazkayin Melankton & Haig Arslanian Djemaran."

Hayastan Foundation, being faithful to its pan-Armenian mission, firmly stands by the Armenian educational centers operating in Lebanon and the Lebanese Armenians. Assistance to Lebanese Armenians began in December 2019, when the socio-economic crisis deepened in Lebanon. The following support was provided in August 2020, shortly after the catastrophic explosion in Beirut. That year, around 600,000 USD was provided to local Armenian educational institutions.

In September 2021, through the efforts of the US local branch of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, 1,000,000 USD was collected and transferred to the Catholicos of Cilicia by the Great House to meet the social needs of the Armenian community in Lebanon, as well as Armenian educational institutions. This fundraising was a response to the appeal of Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, addressed to all Armenians.

From 2019 until today, Hayastan Foundation has provided support of around 1,700,000 USD to meet the urgent needs of Lebanese Armenians.
