Education

Children of Armenia fund (COAF) started its activities in Tavush in 2016. In addition to education and health programs, as part of our ongoing humanitarian outreach to villages near conflict zones, COAF SMART Safe Rooms provide secure shelter from shelling and other potential use of weapons in areas along the border with Azerbaijan. In the Tavush region for instance where COAF has built 2 SMART Safe Rooms, children and their families are under a daily threat of a flare in hostilities. COAF SMART Safe Rooms are providing safe spaces and areas of refuge for children and adults living in battle-torn areas. SMART Safe rooms is a safe space for 200 people per village with water, food and additional electric generator.[2]
