Intro

The Atken Armenian Foundation (AAF) was created in 2009 soon after the passing of Dr. Atken Armenian – Armenian-Canadian educator, humanitarian and music lover who spent the last 14 years of his life in Armenia. Our mission is to continue his charitable work in Armenia, the most cherished being to create opportunities for students, families, and communities in need. He helped hundreds of individuals in Armenia and has a permanent place in the memory of many.

 

The Foundation’s mission is to contribute to Armenia’s development through cultural and economic development initiatives.
