WE are ONEArmenia

From the get-go, ONEArmenia (1A) has stood behind the belief that we don’t believe in “charity.” We’ve worked hard to shift global perspectives towards Armen...

We at ONEArmenia are proud of what we've been able to achieve in the last two and a half years. We've definitely come along way, but we still hear people asking, "What is 1A?" We want to let them know that what they should really be asking is, "Who is 1A?" So, we've prepared this video to help answer that question. We hope you enjoy watching it and we thank you for all your love and support. Thank you for liking, thank you for sharing, thank you for contributing, thank you for everything. For as little or as much as you do, thank you.

1A is kicking off the New Year with a party in NYC on Jan. 9th. We're excited to announce that it will feature authentic Lebanese-Armenian cuisine from New York's beloved Almayass Restaurant. If you live in the surrounding region and haven't checked out their delicious offerings by now, you really should. And if you don't believe us, this awesome review from the New York Times should probably answer any questions.

Our 1tab campaign was featured in Asbarez! So far, with your help we have raised enough money to sponsor 15 tablets for children in Armenia. Our goal, however, is 100 and we still have a long way to go. Help us reach it TODAY. http://igg.me/at/1tab/x/1263091

Crowdfunding for 100 Teens to Receive 100 Armenian-Made Tablets

How often is it that a first in Armenia is a first for the rest of the world, as well?

At 1A, we're a big fan of firsts. It's the main inspiration behind our upcoming campaign, in fact. But it's also the reason why we're so excited about Voiceboard, the world's first voice and gesture controlled presentation tool which was also imagined and designed entirely in Armenia by a start-up called Lionsharp Solutions.

Visit their kickstarter page for more info and to support innovation in Armenia (and in the world)!

Our latest campaign on indiegogo is officially up and running! We have one month to raise $15,000 to sponsor the ArmTab factory's first 100 tablets for 100 teens at Orran family center in Armenia. Watch our video and see why Armenia's future in tech begins today, with 1 tablet.

[onearmenia]

Our teams in Yerevan + NYC are working hard to finalize the launch of the 1tab campaign. The video and crowdfunding page will be up any day now.

As a teaser, here's the factory's first draft of the tablets, emblazoned with our official logo! The tablets, produced by ArmTab, Armenia's first Android tablet factory, and will be customized with educational software and distributed to 100 teens from Orran next year.

Local #electrogrunge band 1243K performs at an underground pub. On the right is their bandmate/computer, lovingly named Suren. We love them because all their merchandise is #handprinted out of used and recycled clothing bought at #Yerevan’s Vernissage market. #goodmusic #goodwill #ONEArmenia

It's not just talk, responsible mining is possible. Molycorps's Mountain Pass mine once produced the majority of the world's rare earth metals but was shut down in 2002 partly due to ecological damage it had caused. Recently, however, the mine has reopened with greener mining practices. You can read more about the exact steps taken to improve the mining process in this case study from MIT: http://web.mit.edu/12.000/www/m2016/finalwebsite/solutions/greenmining.html

We can mine responsibly in Armenia! 9 DAYS left to our Indiegogo campaign--CONTRIBUTE HERE: igg.me/at/responsiblemining
