The Classes were established to provide disabled people with an opportunity to learn different arts and crafts disciplines: ceramics, embroidery, stone carving, etc. For realization of the project GC Armenia established a long-term partnership with VivaCell-MTS company, which agreed to provide all the financial resources for implementation of the project. So far 4 classes are opened in Gyumri and other 4 in Yerevan. Also by the means of the project a part of the premises of the Pyunic center (including Ball room) was renovated.

| | |    | | | | Milk collection centers in Tavush marz | Project was initiated in 2007 and the idea of the project was to establish milk collection centers in Tavush marz/region of Armenia in 3 villages, which do not have access to the country market and the farmers in these villages cannot sell their milk/produce. The milk collection centers will buy all the produce from the farmers, and sell to large dairies of the country.
The project is implemented in partnership with the Center for Agribusiness and Development and “Ashtarak-kat” (one of the leading dairies in Armenia).
The MCCs were launched in June 2008 in Tovuz, Varagavan and Nerqin Karmir communities of the region.
The project was developed in cooperation with the Performance Budgeting project of UNDP and it is unique considering that it is closely related to the core business of the partner company, provides sustainability, can be replicated and is commercially viable.
