In August, the beneficiary of The Power of One Dram initiative was the Orran charitable public organization. Thanks to 4,719,020 drams raised through the program, children supported by the organization started the school year fully prepared, with the necessary school clothing and supplies.
Funds collected in September under the initiative will be directed to the Climate Change and Women award. The aim is to recognize, value and make more visible women’s leadership and contribution to tackling climate change and preserving biodiversity.
As part of COP17, the Climate Change and Women award is being held in partnership with the Women in Climate and Energy (WiCE) public organization, the OksEjen Foundation, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the CBD Women’s Caucus, and the RA Ministry of Environment.
Tatevik Vardevanyan, head of communications and sustainability at Idram and IDBank, said environmental protection and sustainable development are among the key priorities of The Power of One Dram. According to her, the project fully reflects the initiative’s values, and Idram and IDBank will continue backing programs that not only highlight pressing issues but also seek practical solutions and a sustainable future.
Nune Sakanyan, founder and director of the Women in Climate and Energy NGO, said the initiative provides an important platform for making women’s work more visible and emphasizing their role. She added that support from The Power of One Dram is crucial for implementing the project, recognizing the value of women’s leadership, and promoting effective environmental solutions.
The Power of One Dram continues to support important social, educational and public initiatives. Users can join by making payments through the Idram&IDBank app, the IDBanking.am and banking.idram.am online platforms, as well as Idram and IDBank terminals. For every payment, the companies allocate one dram to significant programs.
