Aregak is one of the most joyful places in Gyumri! In addition to changing stereotypes surrounding people with special needs, the bakery provides work for fifteen people. Five of them have family members with disabilities and four have disabilities themselves. We're changing the stigma in Gyumri that says people with special needs can't have fulfilling lives and work!
Thanks to your support and the assistance of the European Union, we just completed our cellar renovation. We can use the new space for a number of different purposes, including training, baking, storage, office work and rest.
By reaching our goal of $3500, we can purchase a special bread oven which will enable us to train more young people, bake higher quality bread and serve Gyumri better! Thank you for your support!
