    Humanitarian Relief

    Serving humanity with care and compassion

    Since our founding, AGBU has been on the frontlines of emergency relief. Our vast international network has proven us a trustworthy and efficient local resource on the ground, wherever danger and peril erupts. Even before the Armenian Genocide, in times of famine and regional unrest, our leaders and members mobilized across borders to deliver sustenance and aid to those in need. In the decades to follow, Armenians facing hardships could count on our speedy response and long-term assistance as a lifeline and bridge to recovery.

    Given the Armenian people’s own history of overcoming unspeakable tragedies and losses, we are highly attuned to human suffering. This inspires us to give back, not only to our own communities but also non-Armenians in deep crisis and distress. With so much unrest and uncertainty in today's world, AGBU continues to assist those who need it most through pandemic, civil unrest, war and natural disasters.

    Global Emergency Relief

    AGBU has built up an impressive capacity to step up to crisis and step in to mitigate disaster. Our global infrastructure allows us to quickly raise funds, dispatch volunteers, and work with like-minded partners to deliver vital resources. In 2020 alone, we distributed mass quantities of food and clothing to thousands of beneficiaries and provided safe shelter and medical aid to many uprooted individuals and families. In short, we respond to emergencies quickly and efficiently.

    Ongoing Assistance

    AGBU also offers long-term support for those who must pick up the pieces after devastating tragedy and loss. We have established resettlement programs involving housing stipends, career counseling and job placement, day school and university scholarships for the displaced or new refugees, as well as free medical services at AGBU centers of care. For those suffering prolonged trauma, we reach out to find them appropriate mental health support.
