During the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, tens of thousands Armenian refugees, including women, children and the elderly were taken out to Armenia for security purposes. About 40,000 refugees lost their homes as a result of bombing and the opportunity to return to their homes doesn't seem realistic. Several thousand soldiers, mostly young people, were injured. The goal of the program is to provide emergency assistance to wounded soldiers and refugees living in different social centers in Armenia.
