more issues which refer to water supply, health, education, social

of the program the villages of Armavir where in desperate condition,
through joint survey with the local population they were able to
separate the sectors which needed more attention and from 2004 the
program of rural development kicked off in Karakert community.
During the implementation of the program COAF cooperated with
international organizations, donor organizations, sponsors. Making
investments amounting to around 800,000 USD the water supply to

AMD for the reconstruction of two buildings of the school which are
not functioning as well as for restoration of local kindergarten and
medical ambulatory.

revive Armenia's rural areas improving the living conditions of local
children and teenagers.

is carrying out development programs in six villages of the Armenian
province of Armavir - Argina, Shenik, Karakert, Dalarik, Lernagog
