The Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief was started in 2005 by George Yacoubian. There are currently over 70 chapters worldwide aiming to provide this underprivileged population with the tools necessary to become accomplished, educated, and self supporting Armenians.
SOAR distributes clothing, educational supplies, medicine, and other essential resources depending on the specific needs of the orphanage/organization. They plan to build for dental clinics for these children. Other projects involve the support of Armenians schools.
