Our mission

At times of crisis, when survival is the sole priority, direct assistance—providing for a person’s basic needs—is both necessary and justified. However, in a stable society, true empowerment comes not from doing things for people, but from standing beside them and guiding them toward self-reliance. This shift from dependency to capability is not just a long-term solution but the most sustainable and dignified form of support.

Charity, when limited to handouts, can sometimes leave its beneficiaries feeling uncertain, passive, or even dependent. The most effective way to support someone is not simply to provide for their needs, but to equip them with education, knowledge, and skills that will allow them to navigate life’s challenges independently. The ultimate goal is transformation—from recipient to contributor, from someone in need to someone who thrives in a competitive world.

“Help a person stand on their feet, and let them walk on their own.” This philosophy defines the humanitarian mission of My Step Foundation. We believe that true impact requires long-term investment, persistent effort, and a deep commitment to human capital development. Our programs focus on equipping individuals with the tools they need to shape their own futures, emphasizing knowledge, skill-building, and lifelong learning.

Our foundation is dedicated to unlocking Armenia’s greatest and most renewable resource—human potential. By investing in human potential, we aim to build a highly skilled, competitive society that is ready to face the challenges of tomorrow. In an era of rapid change, where knowledge and adaptability are more crucial than ever, we prioritize continuous education for people of all ages and backgrounds. Our initiatives span education and innovation, social inclusion, economic empowerment, and cultural preservation, all aimed at fostering a knowledge-driven, self-sufficient, and resilient society.

Through collaboration, innovation, and dedication, we strive to create a nation of lifelong learners, empowered individuals, and strong communities, ensuring that progress is not just given but built—step by step, together.
