AURORA FOR ARTSAKH

Through the Aurora for Artsakh program, the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative helps those people of Artsakh facing a grave humanitarian crisis in the aftermath of the 2020 Artsakh (NagornoKarabakh) war.

Since the launch of the humanitarian aid program for Artsakh, Aurora has allocated $1,740,000 USD to support 80 projects in Artsakh, implemented by both local and international partners. These projects include the Hayastan AllArmenian Fund, which provides urgent humanitarian assistance to the people of Artsakh and facilitates the region’s longterm social development.

About 131,000 people have benefitted from this program. Aurora for Artsakh has also contributed to strengthening Aurora’s partnerships with distinguished international entities like SOS Children’s Villages, iACT, Near East Foundation and the Aznavour Foundation, among others.

The program also includes bringing world humanitarian leaders to the region to find new opportunities to help local people, support Artsakh’s international standing, and ensure effective solutions on the ground.

The Aurora for Artsakh program is being implemented through the #AraratChallenge movement.

HUMANITARIAN AID PROJECTS

Almost half of Aurora for Artsakh’s projects are dedicated to providing people in need with appropriate clothing, heaters, shelter, bedding, food, agricultural goods, kits with essentials, hygiene product packs and supplies, gas canisters and furniture.

The program has also delivered laptops to children with hearing impairments, gave displaced children access to theatre performances and entertainment, organised transport and ensured psychological assistance and physical rehabilitation for those who required it, and sent Christmas presents to the children of Artsakh.

CHRISTMAS MIRACLE FOR ARTSAKH

More than 500 people from different countries, as well as 12 corporate companies became Secret Santas for the children of Artsakh.
With the funds raised, we purchased gifts for these children who did not get their Santas, as well as about 3000 gift sets for children
who simply could not and did not have a chance to send us a letter.

It also covers: the procurement of tools and materials for lower limb prosthetics, provision of orthopaedic items to wounded soldiers, provision of vital medication to elderly people, new ambulances for Artsakh, psychological support to servicemen and their families, equipment for the transfer of wounded soldiers with mobility issues, the development of a mobile clinic to provide healthcare services to the wounded, the rehabilitation of children and adults in Artsakh, organising at-home medical services for the wounded with limited mobility in hard-to-reach regions of Artsakh and Armenia, and an acupuncture training program for medical professionals in Artsakh for pain relief and mental health care in war and post-war context, amongst other things.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

ontrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
