Yerevan, Armenia, Unison, the leading non-governmental organization in
Armenia, which advocates for the rights of people with disabilities,
is pleased to announce the launch of its new bilingual website
[].
"Our new website will serve as a tremendous resource for not only
people with disabilities, but also international organizations,
prospective donors and anyone who would like to learn more about
our organization, available resources for or the issues facing
people with disabilities in Armenia," said Armen Alaverdyan,
Executive Director of Unison. "Our new website’s functionality
allows visitors to download most of the publications and videos
produced by Unison free of charge. Our photo gallery illustrates
the success of our many projects and achievements from 2003
until today. In addition, the disability related resources
section provides valuable information on many important issues
including: Accessibility, Education, Employment, Rehabilitation,
Laws and others."
The website redesign and build was made possible through a grant
from The Paros Foundation. The website was designed and built
through a collaborative effort by the capable team of Lilit
Khudoyan and Sevan Amirians.
"Bringing Unison’s valuable message and resources to people
throughout the world via this website and the internet was an
attractive investment for the Paros Foundation. I am certain
that the visitors to this site, both disabled and not, will
appreciate Unison’s capable and important work," said Peter
Abajian, Executive Director of The Paros Foundation. "Our hope is
that Unison’s website will serve as a gateway and catalyst to
attract other project sponsors and resources."
Founded in 2002, Unison has aggressively worked to improve the
lives of people with disabilities. As the first and most
effective non-profit organization of its kind in Armenia, Unison
helps protect, advocate for, and shape the rights of people with
disabilities. Beginning in 2006, The Paros Foundation has
supported the work of Unison through annual grants. In addition,
as part of its philanthropic model, The Paros Foundation
