It is very gratifying to realize that one’s support for improving peoples’ lives is, in fact, doing that. It is even more gratifying to witness how one’s support serves as a catalyst for further improvements.

With funds provided by the American People through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Primary Healthcare Reform Project (PHCR) helps improve quality and accessibility of primary care in Armenia. To increase effectiveness and efficiency in the use of funds, the Project not only coordinates activities with other donor organizations, but, where possible, also endeavors to leverage and mobilize outside resources.

Among the key aspects that make the Jinishian Memorial Foundation unique is its profoundly compassionate approach to the design of its programs, and, ultimately, its beneficiaries. Rather than provide quick fixes or handouts, the organization invests in the lives of individuals and entire communities, guided by both an abiding sense of empathy and a vision of long-term development – in terms of fostering economic self-sufficiency, social equality and vibrancy, educational excellence, and spiritual growth.

Sponsored mainly by the Jinishian Memorial Program of the Presbyterian Church USA, the Jinishian Memorial Foundation operates a comprehensive program in Armenia, focusing not only on direct aid to disadvantaged families, but also community development, education, economic development, civil-society growth, health services, and spiritual uplift.
