About the nonprofit
We are Hayordi
After the 2020 war, Vache Vardanyan's decision to move to Artsakh laid the foundations of the "Hayordi" initiative. During the previous three years, with the efforts of Vache and a group of volunteers, as well as thanks to many donors, a number of programs and events were carried out for the children of war victims, the largest of which is the annual "Hayordi" camp.
Our Mission
Supporting children who lost their parents during the war is the goal of the Hayordi Foundation. We provide emotional support, stability, and specialized care to help them cope with their deep loss and pain.
Our Projects
Khokha Center: A facility where children aged 3-6 from Artsakh attend and women from Artsakh work, fostering a sense of community and cultural continuity. Communication is exclusively in the Artsakh dialect.
Hayordi Camp: An annual camp designed to offer support, care, and a sense of stability to children who have lost their parents in the war.
Mayrenik Program: This initiative supports women who lost their husbands in the war and were pregnant, providing them with necessary assistance and resources.
