Sergey Tamazyan

Sergey weighed four and one half pounds when he was born. After his birth, his parents saw he was growing weaker and weaker and more frail every day. Their lives were modest. They lived in a small one-room house in Stepanavan and could not afford the extra care Sergey required.
Thanks to the ACMF, Sergey is now a healthy little boy who has the rest of his life to look forward to.

The European Federation of the Red Cross has commended ACMF for the benefits ACMF’s sustaining nutritional programs provide to Armenia’s next generation, and for the dedication ACMF brings to its work.

ACMF is a volunteer organization formed by a diverse group of caring individuals. Its headquarters are Belmont, MA. ACMF volunteers and supporters come from across the United States. ACMF works in partnership with the Armenian Missionary Association of America, a blue ribbon humanitarian organization that has been active in direct relief efforts in 18 countries since 1918.

In addition, the ACMF is able to airlift and distribute supplies in Armenia through the kind support of the United Armenia Fund and the Liney Foundation.

Having survived the war in Karabagh, Helen Asoyan's parents moved to Yerevan where she was born. Helen's birth was a difficult one. After her delivery it was found she had an infection which then spread to her left eye. Evantually, the doctor had to remove her eye. This trauma weakened the new born and her doctor referred her to the ACMF clinic in Yerevan. There she received Isomil infant formula which supplied her with the nutrients she lacked.

Today, Helen is a healthy baby thanks to the nutrients she received at a critical stage in her development.
