ABOUT US

"WINNET Goris" Development Fund, which was established in 2009, using the concept of "women's support frameworks in the region" (Swedish best practice), together with partner women's resource centers (RCCs) of Kapan and Meghri, played an important role in the local and regional sustainable development of Syunik marz. in the involvement of women. Highlighting the strength and capabilities of the network, these three Women's Resource Centers merged in 2010 as the Syunik Women's Resource Centers Network. The team's commitment and potential were instrumental in the organization's membership of the European Association of Women's Resource Centers (WINNET Europe) (www.winneteurope.org) in 2014, the first and still only non-EU member.
