Zatik children.
Armenia, Yerevan, 2008
The earthquake, the fall of the Soviet bloc and the Karabakh conflict blew up in poverty within the country. Initially the idea was to create a home that welcomes beggars and street children in the Armenian capital.
By 1993, Zatik officially became a state orphanage. The children were enrolled in nearby schools and the orphanage has hired additional teachers to fill gaps in school.
In 2009, Zatik about 150 children, divided into three groups of girls and three boys. Each group lives in a part of the orphanage with its dormitories, its health and its staff.
Zatik has 69 employees including 9 in the administrative department for health dentist, pediatrician and four nurses, including a nutritionist. 21 There are 18 teachers, 21 childminders and 15 technical staff.
The orphanage also welcomes volunteers worldwide who lead activities for children, and provide an opening to the world.
Unable to accommodate children above 18 years, the orphanage has expanded its ability to host. "Rainbow House" is a house near Zatik, home girls over 18 years to enable them to juggle work and school. Each girl participates in household expenses, it is a beginning of independence.
This exhibition was organized to provide support for these actions.
