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.

“We needed a program like this, especially now, since our nation is traumatized in every way, due to so much loss of lives, our lands, our everything . . . These types of important cultural efforts help us feel strong on the land we have and to show the world that we still exist and live here.”
