Barerar.am website and the application have been created in 2024 with the initiative and financing of the “Vardanyan Family” charity foundation. The purpose of the platform is to help beneficiary (socially disadvantaged) families with minor children and families living in extremely difficult conditions. The donation from the benefactor will reach the families directly (without mediation of any individual or organization) by transfer to the family parent’s bank account or via IDram, TelCell payment systems. "Vardanyan Family" charity foundation is the first to provide each family with the amount of 500 000 drams and a mobile phone with one-year unlimited internet access, as well as assists in opening the bank accounts. Videos about deprived families can be viewed on the website and the application. A new video is published once a week, each Monday. The Barerar.am website and the application do not pursue any financial interest and do not charge any commission. The amount you transfer is fully credited to the account of your selected family.
