Armenia Tree Project and Aurora Humanitarian Initiative join forces for a good cause
October 2, 2019 – The Aurora Humanitarian Initiative and the Armenia Tree Project are glad to announce that a tree-planting event in Tsitsernakaberd will be organized during the inaugural Aurora Forum on October 20, 2019. A new grove of trees to be planted will be named after Aurora Mardiganian, one of the Armenian Genocide survivors remembered for her extraordinary resilience and generosity, in spite of the suffering she had faced, and being the inspiration behind the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity.
The cooperation between two organizations, sharing the same vision of a secure and sustainable future for all, aims at deepening their connection, expanding the network of like-minded individuals and advancing both local and global causes. Together, we will strive to focus our efforts on efficient long-term solutions for the world’s most relevant issues, while mutual cross-promotion initiatives will facilitate engaging and inspiring even more people.
For the past 25 years, Armenia Tree Project has mastered the art of growing and planting trees in Armenia and honed its ability to produce healthy trees to sustain and propagate the country’s natural resources. Since 1994, nearly six million trees have been planted by ATP, benefitting more than 1,200 communities in Armenia and Artsakh.
