Who We Are
Oghak NGO
What is our Mission?
Our mission is to help Armenian individuals to embrace self-development through self-awareness, personal growth, development of creative thinking, and cultivating resilience, all in a constructive atmosphere and through various courses and workshops. Oghak strives to achieve this mission through personal growth and professional training programs.
What is our Vision?
Our vision is to create a community, where individuals have integrity, self-awareness, a growth mindset, creativity, and resilience – a community that can be the supporting foundation for the development of a strong state.
What do we Do?
To attain its vision and accomplish its mission, Oghak designs its programs based on the evaluation of the needs of the community through creating and organizing a series of public events and gatherings, educational courses and professional workshops, health campaigns and counseling. Over the years, Oghak has expanded its operations from its center in the Nork Marash District in Yerevan into many regions (marzes) of Armenia, including Aragatsotn, Gegharkunik and Tavush.
Oghak adapts its program and projects to accommodate the ever-changing needs of the Armenian society it works in, even more so during times of crisis. Our dedication is foremost to serve the development of the Armenian society to its full potential.
Testimonials
“I discovered Oghak by chance and soon the centre earned my love and respect, which I believe is mutual. Thanks to the generosity of its main sponsors, Hratch and Elizabeth Sisserians, as well as the efforts of its administration, Oghak provides a constructive environment that increases the quality of life of Armenian women. Oghak is an authentic place which has significantly improved my life. Regardless of how busy I am, I always make the time to visit Oghak.”

“I believe the greatest happiness in life is when you feel you are loved and accepted the way you are. That is what we experience at Oghak. Usually people tend to give up quickly and easily, but, thanks to Oghak, we are trying to change this habit. I am personally very thankful for Oghak.”
Sophia Hovanisyan
“When people are used to doing what they want to do, it is difficult for them to have the sufficient discipline to complete tasks that are undesirable but necessary. However, at Oghak, we learn to take responsibility for the work we have committed to. I wish the best for Oghak administration, its donors and sponsors. May our work reach the hearts of good people and may Oghak grow like a spring flower.”

To me, the most important thing is that Oghak transmits positive energy to its beneficiaries. If I were to describe the organization in two words, I would say Oghak is a hospitable family.”
