Our team is on the ground in Yerevan where we have initiated the deployment of essential humanitarian digital infrastructure. This initiative aims to support access to vital information and provide critical services for the refugees who fled Nagorno-Karabakh in late September.
Collaboration with local and international NGOs, as well as governmental bodies, is at the heart of our efforts. Over the past days, our colleague Anca Drăgoi has been actively engaging in a series of meetings with various stakeholders, facilitating our presence and engagement in the region.
Excited to have had a first-round meeting with Safe You team, Mariam Torosyan (founder) and Natalie Macarian (Global Head of Partnerships) to discuss refugee women's needs and explore potential collaboration in the field of women's counseling and rights and also with Margaret Schmitz Division Chief, Private Sector Engagement, Diaspora and Innovation, USAID.
In times of adversity, coming together as a community is essential.
Stay tuned for updates.
