Mer Doon Marks 10 Years Serving Orphaned & Disadvantaged Girls.
Mer Doon to Celebrate 10th Anniversary with Special Events and Activities in 2016
ECHMIADZIN ”“ On November 11, 2006, Mer Doon opened its doors to seven proud young girls with tremendous hope and potential who had outgrown the orphanage system. Now celebrating its 10th year of service to disadvantaged girls, Mer Doon is more vibrant and relevant than ever. It remains the only NGO in Armenia that provides a home for homeless girls, ages 18-24, who have nowhere else to go.
To kick off the 10th anniversary celebration, Mer Doon has launched a new website at www.Mer-Doon.com. Its fresh, bright, and upbeat theme reflects the true spirit of Mer Doon, and sets the stage for the organization’s next 10 years of service in Armenia.
Since 2006, Mer Doon has cared for more than 45 young girls by providing higher education, vital skills to transition into adulthood, and a loving and compassionate family environment, making them full members of society as well as honest and independent citizens of Armenia. For many of these young women, Mer Doon has been the first family they have ever known.
Commenting on this milestone, Chairman Stephen Ashekian stated, “Longevity is often quite correctly associated with integrity. A track record of proven service demonstrates that you have gained the community’s trust, and have tested achievable results. We are celebrating this milestone to underscore our consistent leadership in the social service sector in Armenia.”
