During the final committee of our Armenia 2024 call for projects in support of displaced people in Artsakh, 9 projects were selected, for a budget of €112,240.
The Guild is pleased to announce the list of winners of this special Armenian session. A big thank you to all the participants who chose solidarity and action with The Guild!
Among the 61 initiatives initially submitted via our Solidarity Portal, 21 projects were preselected by La Guilde's micro-project team following the first phase of instruction.
On April 4, the final jury, composed of experts from Armenia and the themes of the projects and some of our institutional and financial partners, was held at La Guilde.
House of Hope Charity Foundation Association – Armenia 2024 Laureate
Nine projects were selected and will receive funding of around €12,500, as well as close support from a Guild project manager based in Yerevan.
The funded projects will be implemented in six regions of Armenia, with two projects funded in Shirak, Lori, and Yerevan. Tavush, Syunik, and Gegharkunik each have one funded project.
These initiatives are vectors of development with a strong social impact, promoting the empowerment of beneficiaries. We find projects around agriculture such as the project of the French association ACFOA in the village of Yaghdan in Lori, which aims to diversify agriculture by providing a greenhouse to the village cooperative and training refugees.
Emphasis was also placed on vocational training, whether it focused on supporting displaced teenage girls or specifically dedicated to cooking-related professions.
Finally, in this context of conflict and forced displacement, it is also important to support projects around mental health and psychological support, as is the case with two projects that we support.
Two French associations are winners in this session, and seven are Armenian associations, the result of the desire to also support local associations.
