The Orange Foundation and World Vision Armenia finilize the September
results of the joint SMS charity project "Let's Keep Children Home"
Today the Orange Foundation and World Vision Armenia announced
the September results of the joint SMS charity project "Let's Keep
Children Home". This project gives the chance to every Orange customer
to support Armenian children, whose families, due to financial
difficulties, deliver them to the care of state institutions.
In September Orange customers have donated a total of 299 600 AMD. As
in the case of previous months, the Orange Foundation in its turn
will double the money donated by the customers all together and
transfer 599 200 AMD to World Vision Armenia to be used by the latter
to help a family living in Syunik region. The family consists of a
young mother and 2 children. Due to tough social conditions Shoghik,
the mother of these 2 children, has had to deliver her 13-year-old
daughter and 14-year-old son to the care of a state institution. With
the donated amount necessary equipment for confectionery production
at home will be acquired, thus enabling Shoghik to earn money and
keep her children home.
"Since launch of this project over 5800 customers have made donations,
and many of them have donated more than once. We thank all our
customers, who have particiapted to this initiative. The Orange
Foundation has doubled the money donated by each of them. We call
on our customers to donate again 100 or 500 AMD, as thanks to the
donations to be made in October one more child will return home,"
said Francis Gelibter, Chairman of the Board of the Orange Foundation
in Armenia.
"Thanks to the donations of Orange customers and the Orange Foundation,
we were able to return 6 children to their families by creating a
source of income for their parents. This project relies on sustainable
development of a family and not on a simple charity, as thanks to small
donations there is a possibility to create economic sustainability
in families," said Graham Strong, Director of World Vision Armenia.
Orange customers can help the families in need by sending SMS to 1234
and 5678 short numbers and donating 100 and 500 AMD correspondingly.
The SMS charity project "Let's Keep Children Home" will last until
June 2013 during which the Orange Foundation will regularly provide
information on the donated money and the children and families who
have been the beneficiaries of this project.
For privacy reasons last name of the beneficiary family and first
names of the children are not indicated.
