𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗺foundation

We believe in the potential of Armenia’s villages and rural regions — and we are committed to unlocking this potential through a holistic and hands-on approach that creates new perspectives for the people on the ground.

Shaping a future for Armenia – together

The viviamfoundation was established to sustainably strengthen communities in Armenia’s rural areas. In the face of depopulation and an aging society, fresh ideas, tangible projects, and strong partnerships are needed to bring hope, dynamism, and quality of life back to these places.

Our Mission

Promoting quality
of life in all its dimensions

Our mission is to holistically improve the quality of life in Armenia’s rural communities. Together with local people, we develop perspectives that embrace all dimensions of life – from economy and environment to education, culture, infrastructure, and community.

True quality of life can only emerge when development happens in balance – when economic opportunity, social inclusion, and ecological responsibility go hand in hand.

This is how we empower communities to shape their own future – sustainably, independently, and with dignity

Our Vision

Strongly connected – deeply rooted

Our vision is an Armenia where rural regions regain their strength, vitality, and confidence in the future. We dream of villages that grow because people choose to stay – and of communities that flourish because people find reasons to return.

With a strong network and deep local roots, we connect ideas and people, regions and the diaspora. We foster the exchange of knowledge, experience, and commitment – turning local initiatives into lasting impact.

What emerges is a movement that builds bridges – between urban and rural life, between tradition and innovation. A movement that helps Armenia’s rural communities become places where the future takes shape – vibrant, self-determined, and connected.

Our Approach

Holistic. Collaborative. Impact-driven.

We don’t work for the people – we work with them. From the initial idea to full implementation, we support projects as a reliable partner.
