I'm donating my birthday to equip single moms in Gyumri and displaced women from Artsakh with the business and basic tech skills they need to start small enterprises and enter the workforce!
I hope to raise $500 through my birthday fundraiser, which will fund one woman's full participation in the #SheCan training course.
Project Background
Ayo! is thrilled to join forces with the Gyumri Information Technology Center (GITC) for a groundbreaking initiative aimed at equipping and empowering women with essential business skills, opening up new opportunities in the labor market!
GITC’s mission is to leverage business and technology education to provide long-term employment opportunities in the Shirak region. Currently, they are committed to elevating the living standards of single mothers and displaced women from Artsakh based in Gyumri.
Shirak, unfortunately, stands as one of Armenia's most vulnerable regions, grappling with high levels of poverty and unemployment.
Despite these challenges, Gyumri, the regional capital, is experiencing a resurgence, thanks in part to the impactful efforts of GITC. Established by FAR in 2005, GITC has successfully trained over 500 individuals in crucial tech skills.
