May we claim gift aid on your donations?

By ticking this box I agree that Action for Child Trauma International can claim Gift Aid on 25% of the value of my donation, and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past to Action for Child Trauma International. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year, it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Armenia

Armenia is a Christian nation, and former Soviet republic, in the mountainous Caucasus region between Asia and Europe.

There are many troubled children in Armenia who have fled the war in Syria, whilst others have suffered recent loss and trauma in the tragic conflict with Azerbaijan in the disputed territory of Ngorno Karabach. This small country has become a safe haven for Christian refugees, many of Armenian descent - a big burden for a people with limited resources.

Our work

We formed a partnership with Children’s Center Foundation in Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia. Here we trained 26 psychologists and social workers to be CATT practitioners in November 2019. We planned to return in 2020 to run a second course plus a training of trainers (ToT) course, but Covid and the conflict with Azerbaijan intervened. However, we conducted a research project in 2020 with those who received the 2019 training, and they are keen for us to run the training again in 2021 for people working with children across the country.

ACT International

ACT International is the working name for Luna Children's Charity (Reg. Charity No. 1172010). The organisation was formed in December 2008 and became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in April 2017

ACT International trains in a number of countries where children’s rights are violated or have laws which compromise our values. We always do our best to uphold and teach internationally accepted standards of human rights, but may in some circumstances be obliged to adapt our programmes so that neither our trainers, trainees nor the children they serve are put at risk.
