Gegharkunik (Armenian: Գեղարքունիք) kindergarten is located in Gegharkunik region, 110 KM from Yerevan. The village has a population of 1,863 with 519 households. The main source of income in the village is farming and livestock cultivation.  The village has a school with 207 students and a kindergarten. 

The recently renovated kindergarten is not working, due to a lack of furniture. The request was to provide beds with bedding and the necessary furniture (tables, chairs, closets, shelves) for the kindergarten to open its doors to 30 kindergarteners, which FCN was able to fulfill in 2020.  Not only is this project beneficial to our young children, but it has also provided employment opportunities for 5-6 villagers.
