Yerevan/Mediamax/. Children of Armenia Foundation (COAF) has invested more than USD 3 million for the construction of the SMART Center in Debed community of Lori.
Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan visited the construction site of SMART Center on May 4.
The Center will be aimed at development of innovation infrastructure in the region.
It is planned to complete the first stage of construction of the Center in November this year.
Children of Armenia Foundation website says that “SMART strives to provide the tools and cutting-edge environment to be the catalyst for communities to achieve their full potential”.
“SMART Centers will serve as epicenters for knowledge exchange to invigorate promising, yet under-supported, areas of Armenia. The SMART Centers will feature both tailored new offerings as well as proven highly effective programs implemented by COAF over the last decade, including: digital libraries, multi-sensory programs for disabled youth, entrepreneurship training, civic engagement, apprenticeships, health education screenings, and environmental and economic programs”, the Foundation states.
COAF plans to replicate SMART model throughout rural Armenia.
