Mer Hooys Continues to Save Lives in Armenia
LOS ANGELES—The Mer Hooys program has welcomed 8 new girls into the program as residents of the Nakashian Children’s Support Center in Yerevan, Armenia. Mer Hooys staff and current residents welcomed the new group of young girls with hugs, words of encouragement, and gift bags.
Four of the girls are sisters coming from a family of 10 children whose home in Yerevan was recently destroyed by fire; two are twin sisters from Nubarashen; one is from Abovyan city; and another is the youngest sister of twins who are already residing at Mer Hooys.
“As Mer Hooys begins its 5th year of operation, the program continues to achieve outstanding success in saving young women in Armenia from the risk of domestic violence, prostitution and human trafficking – and guiding them into lives of fulfillment and self- sufficiency,â€
