Help Sponsor Orphaned Children

Donation protected
Of the 75 orphans housed at the Armenian Evangelical Boarding School (AEBS), only 2 have been sponsored. Will you help us change that?

To sponsor one child for a year, we need to raise $600. That's just $50 to sponsor a child for an entire month, or $11 for a week. Our campaign goal reflects our hope to sponsor four orphans.

The orphans of AEBS - in Anjar, Lebanon - find solace there from families who are deceased, unable, or worse, unwilling to support them. Although their enrollment costs are largely unpaid, AEBS does not turn them away. They are, however, in serious need of funding to pay for tuition, supplies, and medical/personal needs. Sponsorships help cover these costs.

We have highlighted a few of the many children in need. The children pictured above are:

- Silvana Manougian – 16 years old (top left)

Silvana has never received proper care and emotional support from her parents. Her situation worsened when her mother passed away. She was left under the care of her incompetent father, who was unable to afford housing and provide for her. Silvana likes swimming, dancing, and chemistry. She wants to become a choreographer.

- Harout Kaji – 14 years old (top right)

Harout was born without an esophagus. His father is deceased and his mother is unemployed. He suffers from persistent bronchitis, allergies, and a weak immune system. He loves piano, dancing, and wants to become a medical doctor.

- Desil Koulaksezian – 9 years old (bottom left)

Due to political tensions and his Syrian nationality, Desil’s father had to abandon his family and flee the country. Desil's mother is unable to provide for her because of her poor financial situation. Desil suffers from learning problems, and is in need of special tutoring. She hopes to become an architect someday.

- Sako Demirjian – 9 years old (bottom right)

Sako’s father is deceased and his mother is a housekeeper who is unable to care for him. He loves singing and wants to be a singer when he grows up.

If you are unable to donate, please help our cause by spreading the word and sharing this page. While funds do not substitute the role of a stable family and home in a child’s life, they allow these children to get the best care they can in the hands of the wonderful people at the AEBS. By investing in these children, we are communicating that they are worthy of a nurturing and bountiful environment – an immeasurably important message for orphans, and for us at the Society of Orphaned Armenian Relief.

Thank you for your concern in making a difference in the lives of the children at the Armenian Evangelical Boarding School!
