What is the Jinishian Memorial Program?
Relief. Development. Faith.
With 100% local teams, Jinishian reaches more than 100,000 Armenians each year in Syria, Lebanon, Armenia, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Georgia, and Artsakh.
Survivors of the Armenian Genocide still struggle today. We respond swiftly in changing conditions with compassion, innovation, and integrity.
Where there is poverty and despair, we bring self-sufficiency and hope by
- Renewing the faith and promise of post-communist Armenia by focusing on long-term, community-based social and economic development.
- Caring for a vulnerable Christian minority trapped in Syria’s relentless violence, scarcity, and inflation. See video from Syria
- Helping the increasingly strained population in Lebanon while aiding an influx of refugees.
In a spirit of Christian unity, we partner with Apostolic, Catholic, and Evangelical churches to serve the Armenian community as a whole—socially, economically, and spiritually.
We invite you to learn more about the wide scope of our programs and how you can get involved.
