Armenian Technology Group: An Agricultural Charity



I didn't know about the ATG until reading this article. Did you?
ATG showed them how to become self reliant through several projects, from growing American wheat seed to resurrecting the Armenian wine industry using thousands of plants from Visalia.

"The idea was to empower them to feed their own families."

Their next projects in Armenia, include establishing a diagnostic lab for infectious disease and building a cold storage packing facility...
Instead of throwing money at a problem, ATG decided to make people make their own destinies. This is a model that many charities should study and follow as it is the right way of providing assistance.

Check out Armenian Technology Group's official website to learn more about what they do and how. There are pictures there, as well!
