Small Business Support for Artsakh Refugees

Lorik Humanitarian Fund supports displaced families from Artsakh not only with housing and aid, but by helping people rebuild livelihoods through small, sustainable business projects rooted in dignity and self-sufficiency.

Supporting displaced Artsakh families through home-based small business projects in Armenia.

Rebuilding a Livelihood After Displacement

Anahit Babajanyan is a forcibly displaced Armenian woman from Artsakh who rebuilt her livelihood after losing her home in 2023.

After the 2020 war, Anahit worked as a pastry maker in Artsakh, preparing traditional Artsakh baklava for her family and community. Following forced displacement, health challenges made it impossible for her to work outside the home.

Determined to continue supporting herself with dignity, she chose to rebuild her small business from home.

From Skill to Self-Sufficiency

With support from Lorik Humanitarian Fund, Anahit received essential equipment and supplies — including a planetary mixer, induction stove, refrigerator, and ingredients — enabling her to restart her work and generate income independently.

This support was not charity. It was an investment in skills, resilience, and long-term stability.

Why Small Business Support Matters

This project is part of Lorik Humanitarian Fund’s ongoing efforts to support:

• Women’s economic empowerment

• Refugee relief and livelihood development

• Artsakh displaced families

• Small business and self-sufficiency programs

By investing in people, skills, and dignity, we help displaced families rebuild sustainable futures — one home-based business at a time.

If you would like to support small business projects for displaced Artsakh families, your contribution helps turn skills into sustainable livelihoods.
