Promotion of Home Care in Armenia

Bringing quality, professional care to isolated elderly people and people with disabilities in Gyumri and Vanadzor

About This Project

Many elderly people and people with disabilities in Armenia live alone, without adequate care or support. This project works to change that by building a sustainable, professional home care system in Gyumri and Vanadzor — two cities where the need is significant and existing services fall short.

Running from 2025 to 2027, the project focuses on three goals: delivering high-quality home care directly to those who need it, training the next generation of care workers, and advocating for systemic reforms that will outlast the project itself.
