Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Every story we witness - a family rebuilding after displacement, a student continuing their education, a community growing stronger - reminds us why we do this work. Each step forward brings us closer to our mission of empowering Armenia by empowering Armenians.

This year was another shared journey. It carried challenges and uncertainty, but also resilience, learning, and progress. What made it meaningful was the steady support of people like you - dedicated supporters who chose to stand with Armenia when it mattered most.

Because of you, displaced Artsakhtsi families found stability and a renewed sense of dignity through housing, livelihoods, and community-based support. Rural doctors and nurses gained training and tools to better care for their patients. Children and students, including those engaged in STEM, educational and science programs, were given space to learn, grow, and imagine futures shaped by opportunity rather than limitation. Elders received support that helped them live with dignity, care, and connection. Your generosity went beyond immediate relief, creating pathways toward long-term resilience and self-reliance.

On Christmas Eve, we reflect with gratitude and look ahead with hope. Your generosity continues to shape lives and communities in ways that are lasting and deeply human.

Thank you for being part of the FAR family and for believing in a future built on compassion, resilience, and shared responsibility.

From all of us at the Fund for Armenian Relief, we wish you a Merry Christmas, a healthy and peaceful New Year, and a joyful Armenian Christmas to follow.

With gratitude and warmest regards,

- From all of us at FAR
