Today, we feel we need a “New Bird’s Nest” project. We call it a “project” because our aim is to prove its concept and eventually make it a permanent fixture of social policy in Armenia. https://www.newbirdsnestproject.org/pilot-program-of-direct-cash-transfers-to-families-affected-by-the-2020-war daily 0.75 2021-06-01 https://www.newbirdsnestproject.org/our-team daily 0.75 2021-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047c4e18b13f659c64f50d9/1620627490789-BH0DV6G0CD9D8F2CQR9M/Nayere+Boghossyan+Melkonyan.jpg Our Team - Nayre Boghossyan-Melkonyan / Նաիրե Պողոսյան-Մելքոնյան Naire Poghosyan-Melkonyan is a freelance translator and journalist. Naire is also the founder and headmaster of NPM language school in Yerevan. NPM offers a positive educational environment which encourages both adult and young learners to continue and expand upon their education by learning world languages. In 2007, Naire married Armen Gevorgyan, the love of her life. Armen was a Deputy Colonel, an International Peacekeeper, and a recipient of 26 medals of honor. Unfortunately on October 19, 2020, Armen gave his life defending his country in Jrakan Artsakh during the 2020 war. Armen’s ultimate sacrifice left Naire a widow and single mother to their 5-year-old son Avet. But it also gave Naire a new purpose to her life. In January of 2021, Naire started Oasis Center of Creativity, an artistic center where children of fallen and wounded heroes can come together to heal while engaging in a range of art-centered and cultural activities. Together with Zabelle Berberian, Nayre is an active founder of the New Birds Nest Chartitable NGO. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047c4e18b13f659c64f50d9/1620627116162-97F9YLM62GGLXVB3E9JI/Zabelle+Berberian.jpg Our Team - Zabelle Berberian / Զապէլ Պէրպէրեան Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Our vision is to enable donors to make direct cash transfers to impact the lives of children affected by war. We believe that children affected by war have not given up on their dreams and futures. The guiding principles of the pilot project are rooted in findings of social sciences. Recent scientific research establishes the long-term consequences of deprivation in children’s early years, and the effects of rising inequality undercutting the idea that everyone had a “fair shot at a better life”.. We believe that the pilot program has many benefits over the “one off” humanitarian attempts by many to help individual families. The intervention is designed to be carried out in an institutional scalable manner (i.e. we can increase the quantity without affecting the quality). The program is also designed to not include work disincentives than traditional aid. We believe that the families of the fallen deserve the dignity to choose for themselves how best to improve their lives — cash enables that choice. https://www.newbirdsnestproject.org/faqs daily 0.75 2021-05-31 https://www.newbirdsnestproject.org/gallery daily 0.75 2022-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047c4e18b13f659c64f50d9/bdd54171-d539-4cd5-a52f-8d07269c5379/Vahan+kids+of+NK.jpg Gallery photo credit Vahan Stepanyan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047c4e18b13f659c64f50d9/754ac578-ebc2-4384-9a34-58cb4c2ae978/Smiling+Children+in+Sushi.jpg Gallery Photo credit Government of Armenia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047c4e18b13f659c64f50d9/b53a9069-c4e7-4b53-97bc-616679dd3c4c/Little+Girl+affected+by+war.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047c4e18b13f659c64f50d9/51fa9de2-880f-42d0-ad34-e035349683a3/Children+of+NK+by+Vahan+Stepanyan.jpg Gallery photo credit Vahan Stepanyan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047c4e18b13f659c64f50d9/3899d2a5-d14c-48f7-9f55-4fddf9b4c582/Refugee+family_Karen+Minasyan.jpg Gallery Photo credit by Karen Minasyan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047c4e18b13f659c64f50d9/bbee45b8-a683-4f15-ba4c-f800c2d8b379/Mother+and+child+_Karen+Minasyan.jpg Gallery photo credit Karen Minasyan https://www.newbirdsnestproject.org/donate daily 0.75 2021-06-01 https://www.newbirdsnestproject.org/home-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdb0b54755be25d5d92bfb3/1559252207571-LZCNVW6ZFPOBOLJS7EC4/image-asset.jpeg Home - Continuing Education for Teachers We create bespoke continuing education programs to address the needs of teachers and their student communities.
