Problem

Who counts how many "Picsart" or other Armenian Unicorn startups ($ 1 billion և more technology companies) we do not have today just because 10 years ago we did not "arm" such talented children living in the region with computer equipment, we left them to their whims?

One of the main problems of professional development of children is the low level of computer equipment. Talent, without equipment, is deprived of the opportunity for quality online education, communication, expansion of useful connections, accumulation of experience through tasks, professional growth, employment. Experience shows that only 15-20% of well-educated students have a computer, while most of the others either have nothing or only a phone. In 2021, the Children of the Regions in the Regions NGO was able to involve individuals, organizations, and train the talents of the region with some equipment, but this is very little compared to the number of talents waiting for them. The statistics for 2021 are as follows: As you can see, it has reached all the regions, and about 63% of the children who receive equipment go to work remotely or on the spot, thus helping to solve the demographic problem of staying in the regions and villages.

What cooperation do we expect?

Used, but good quality or new computers to 10 talented children from the regions, whom we will present in the list. The list is based on the children's social status, interests, diligence, activity in community development and volunteer work.
