Beds, Furniture, & a Playroom for Kindergartners of the Hearing Impaired Center (Yerevan)

Yerevan’s hearing-impaired complex (Armenian: Երևանի լսողության խանգարումներ ունեցող երեխաների հատուկ կրթահամալիր) currently serves as the educational and cultural center for 5-18 years old children and teenagers from all over Armenia with hearing impairments. The center is a second home to 118 children/teenagers between 5-18 years of age. It also serves as a dormitory for 55 children/teenagers who are from remote villages or towns. In addition to educational programs, the center also offers many activities and clubs such as dance, painting, pantomime and sports. In 2020, the center renovated a few rooms to be able to open a kindergarten for children between 2-5 years old. But to be able to open the kindergarten, the center needed the necessary furniture for 10 children, as well as a playroom.

Beds with bedding for 10 children = $1,000
Furniture (chairs, tables, closets, and shelves) for 10 children = $500
Teacher’s table, chair, and blackboard = $200
Playroom equipment with soft flooring and appropriate toys = $1,500
