The Children of Armenia Charitable Foundation (COAF) is a non-profit non-governmental organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life in rural communities in Armenia. Founded in 2004 in the village of Karakert in the Armavir region, COAF has now expanded to 64 villages in the Armavir, Aragatsotn, Lori, Gegharkunik, Shirak, and Tavush regions, serving over 107,000 beneficiaries. Working primarily with children and youth, COAF implements education, health, and socio-economic development programs to address rural poverty in a comprehensive manner. More than 170 village infrastructures have also been improved, including repairs to schools, clinics, kindergartens, community centers, school canteens, creative labs, roads, and irrigation systems.

Since 2015 COAF is implemented the COAF Smart Center initiative. The COAF SMART Center is a state-of-the-art center dedicated to further advancing rural communities by expanding access to comprehensive programs, technology, and tremendous opportunities. The first SMART center is located in Debet village, Lori region of Armenia. It serves the 3+ years old villagers, providing education in communication, technology, arts, agriculture, and entrepreneurship. As a leader in rural infrastructure innovation, COAF plans to establish SMART centers in every region of Armenia. Within the framework of the project, it is planned to open two COAF smart centers in the communities of Kapan and Goris.
