CHRISTIANS IN NEED FOUNDATION

CINF is a charity 501(c)(3) organization based in the United States of America. Our mission is to preserve ancient Christian traditions in their diversity, that they may continue to inform those communities to which they belong and have them coherently inform those actions that will help these communities, especially in the Middle East and Caucasus, to prosper economically, socially, and culturally. CINF primarily leads educational programs in Artsakh (otherwise known as Nagorno Karabakh), offering courses in Humanity studies (English Language, Logic, and Ethics) and soon also Vocational skills (carpentry, tailoring, cosmetology, etc.). Since piloting the Humanities courses in 2017, CINF’s programs have grown to offer nearly 30 courses which welcomed more than 300 students. The purpose of the program is to provide, through meeting educational needs distinct to each community, the skills necessary for Christian communities in the Middle East and Caucasus to rebuild, protect and develop their diverse traditions, and, in general, flourish. For this reason, CINF specifically targets Artsakhtsi youth, aiming to prepare them to become knowledgeable and capable community leaders.
