I support Empower Armenia because I share its philosophy and appreciate the efficiency and transparency with which these delightful mini projects are executed. When I donate, I know that it will be spent for the intended purpose. The level of dedication and accountability – whether it be through visiting countless vendors to compare costs or sharing receipts for donor review – is simply incredible.

I first, met Araz, Empower Armenia’s founder, in 2012. I can attest first-hand to his determination to raise Armenia and its people, and to leave towns and villages in better condition than how he found them. The bulk of this organization’s work is devoted to children, especially parts of childhood that many of us took for granted as children, such as the possession of school supplies and sports gear, as well as regular trips to the doctor. The before-and-after photos that are published online are especially regarding for me, because I can see exactly where my donation went.
Araz is always friendly and available to answer any question you may have, or to listen to new ideas. He genuinely values and appreciates his donors. I foresee myself giving him donations for a long time to come. Thank you, Empower Armenia, for all the work you do!

Empower Armenia does incredible work to help those in need. Every project is well thought through and managed. Every penny of every donation is put to use and those involved always go an extra mile to make it work. It’s a great fortune to be able to partner up with Empower Armenia and their endless dedication is much appreciated.

I’m glad to work with Araz and help out with his annual donations to those who are less fortunate in Armenia. He takes everything that’s collected and delivers it first-hand in an organized fashion so you see where all your donations have gone, without having to wonder if it has reached who it should have reached or not. He also carefully chooses who to give part of the donations to. You do a great job Araz, keep up the good work!

There aren’t many charitable organizations that are truly committed to serving those in need. Empower Armenia, led by a devoted leader will always find strong-minded individuals to make Armenians feel responsible and personally involved with their ancient motherland.

I would like to take a moment to recognize Araz Boghossian and the work he has undertaken with Empower Armenia. This organization is known for effective and efficient deployment of capital yielding immediate benefits to those in need. I take comfort knowing that Araz oversees the investment of every dollar fundraised to ensure the greatest impact from donor contributions is realized. I am a proud contributor to Empower Armenia.

The team of Empower Armenia is a very hardworking and honest group of young people that are donating their time and energy to make a difference in the life of Armenians in need. They have very low overhead costs because all of the staff donate their time and efforts, so the donations go to the people in need without being wasted on costly administrative expenses.
