“OXFAM has been working in Armenia since the early 1990s, fighting poverty and making sure that people’s voices are heard. We work with more than 140 countries across six regions of Armenia to develop projects that bring lasting change to people’s lives. We work with the government to ensure the rights of poor people are put first, and conduct extensive research to help advocate for changes. We are working to improve the health sector, to improve the outlook for smallholder farmers and to help communities respond to natural disasters. We are empowering women and young people to get involved in the decisions affect them most”, stated Ms. Hakobyan.
