Children of Armenia Fund (COAF) operates in 11 villages in Armenia and was founded in 2003 to create a holistic model for rural development. COAF believes in addressing human and social development through programs in infrastructure, health, education, child and family services, and economic development. COAF considers schools important for transmitting innovative knowledge and empowering children as agents of change, especially in health and education which are growing industries. Challenges include lack of resources and unhealthy lifestyles, but COAF is implementing programs like health clubs, nutrition initiatives, and social-emotional learning to promote health and wellness in schools and communities.
