SOAR assists the orphanages of Armenia through 3 primary mechanisms. First, we work with for-profit corporations (e.g., pharmaceutical companies) to provide donations of specific products. These goods are then shipped by SOAR to Armenia, at which point our Partners receive the goods and make the appropriate distributions.
Second, we receive new and used goods from donors and ship them to Armenia. Our Partners in Armenia receive the goods and make the appropriate distributions.
Third, we receive cash donations, from individual donors and from foundations, to purchase goods and services for the orphanages. Some of these products may need to be purchased outside of Armenia and shipped to our Partners. It is our hope, however, that most of the goods and services can be purchased in Armenia. This method of procurement will serve the dual role of satisfying the orphanages' needs while simultaneously providing a much needed boost to the Armenian economy. Our Partners will be responsible for either receiving goods purchased by SOAR or purchasing the items and services for SOAR and subsequently making the distributions.
