On Friday 6th March at 2pm, we went to our first meeting with Helene of SPFA (Protestant Solidarity France-Armenia). She is the person in charge of the office in Erevan. There are two other offices, one in Gyumri and one in Karabakh. Helene set out the association projects for us in perfect French. Founded in 1989, following the 1988 earthquake, SPFA has not stopped developing and adapting its activities in Armenia since then.

  Hélène de SPFA

We invite you to follow our visits concerning SPFA activities:

  • In Erevan, we will have the opportunity to visit the Vardashen boarding school.
  • In Gyumri, we will discover how a whole area can have access to running water twenty-four hours a day, which is exceptional in Armenia, at the same time as being economical.
  • In Karabakh, we will understand how some children can go to school free of charge thanks to honeybees…
