Armenia: Self-Reliance Is UMCOR's Best 10th Anniversary Gift
What began as an UMCOR project to supply Armenians with critical
prescription drugs has grown into a multi-faceted program celebrating
its tenth year this fall. Thousands of beneficiaries in the former
Soviet republic enjoy upgraded health, improved standards of living,
and self-reliance as a result. But much remains to be done. UMCOR's
newest initiatives in Armenia take aim at human trafficking-- a
modern form of slavery, usually snaring women and children for
commercial sexual exploitation. Your gift can help in a meaningful
way. Please donate to UMCOR Advance #250225, Armenia Emergency.
UMCOR is the not-for-profit humanitarian agency of The United
Methodist Church. Since 1940 UMCOR's mission-- providing relief in
disaster areas, aiding refugees and confronting the challenge of
world hunger and poverty-- has helped to heal the hurts of humanity
in nearly 100 countries. UMCOR maintains a corps of trained disaster
response specialists for quick reinforcement of national efforts and
keeps a supply of relief materials in warehouses for dispatch when
and where required. It also trains disaster response specialists in
their own countries as part of a global ministry by a global church,
and it works in partnership with other international agencies.
