Since 2010 the TCF’s main charitable objective in the sphere of education has been the assistance to the most socially disadvantaged schoolchildren. Due to the school project “Free Textbooks 2022/2023” there were totally 150 needy schoolchildren from Yerevan, Gyumri, Stepanavan and Karbi village, who have been granted 1,961 textbooks for free. The TCF also assisted to the organisation of the essay competition "Hagop Bogossian Grant - 2022", as well as provided technical support to Paruyr Sevak village school in Ararat Region.
Throughout the year 2022, within the frames of the programme "Support to Our Compatriots from Artsakh" initiated by the TCF since the 44-day War, humanitarian aid (totally 14.5 tons of food and basic essentials) was provided to 338 Armenian families displaced from Artsakh and settled in Charentsavan and Hrazdan communities.
In conclusion, it should be mentioned that these are just some of the Fund's programmes implemented in 2022. This year, the TCF intends to continue the realization of its mission and goals through the diversity of its activities.
